Would you like to participate in our annual Caribbean Living Statues Festival competition?
Our
Mission/Vision
Our mission statement is: ‘every little, valuable story or heritage item is worth conserving, reading, writing, storytelling or performing while embracing cultural diversity. Especially, when it respects the principles of sustainability for nature & environment and take away the unnecessary ‘cultural’ boundaries.’
Excursions (Nature. Monument Care)
BKE conducts several educational projects to make our people and visitors aware of our cultural heritage, like our Monuments and Natural resources. We visit schools and other entities to give readings and lectures, but also do excursions on our History, Environment and Nature.
Caribbean Living Statues Festival
Once a year, mainly in December, the streets of Philipsburg are adorned with living statues, performing their unique and special forms of art, that portray Caribbean heroes in Sports, Culture, Literature, Politics and Showcases the local social scenes of the region.
Readings and Entertainment for Elderly
BKE stands for social cohesion. Young and old can nicely do things together. Our volunteers go to the elderly home and visit the elderly at their homes to read the newspaper or a book to them or have them entertained with dancing, singing and other fun activities.
BEYOND KULTURA EVENTS is seeking for Volunteers.
If you like to organize, write project proposals, or just a hands-on person with lots of creativity, you are most welcome to register to one of our commissions to help out on projects.
