As part of the 51st Pacific Islands Forum Leaders Meeting next week, Fiji will host a “Blue Pacific Village”, recognizing the strength and resilience of the Blue Pacific region.
The Blue Pacific Village will be staged at the Thurston Gardens in Suva, and will open to the general public from Monday 11 to Thursday 14 July 2022.
The program reflects on the Pacific’s regional solidarity, cultural diversity and the 50 years of journey that the Pacific Family has accomplished since the establishment of the Pacific Islands Forum. It will feature activities significant to our Pacific Family and these include: Climate and Oceans, Regionalism, Early Childhood Development, Promoting Women and Girl Empowerment in the Pacific.
The event will also promote awareness and appreciation of the Pacific’s unique cultures, through exhibition of authentic artifacts, culture and traditions of our Pacific islands.
It is a platform where the Pacific Missions will be displaying educational information regarding their respective countries and that of the region.
There will be public talanoa sessions, a showcase of the Pacific’s unique cultural performances, arts and music, food stalls.
The Blue Pacific Village provides opportunities for Pacific women and youth entrepreneurs to showcase their skills, and talents and market their products.
It will also be an avenue for them to have their voices heard on issues of importance to our Pacific women, youths and the way forward to build a resilient Blue Pacific.
On Monday, the program will have a soft launch, and the public is encouraged to visit the Blue Pacific Village and support the various women and youth groups participating.
There is no admission fee to Blue Pacific Village, which is open from Monday to Thursday from 9am until 8pm
