Following their successful Youth Visioning project on Parle Creole, and led by their teacher, Jahisiah Benoit, students from Goodwill High School prepared an article for the Small Islands Voice Youth Internet Forum on how they are working to revitalise the Kwéyòl culture in Dominica, with activities ranging from preparing traditional foods such as Sankoch and Paté Bannann, to learning the language in school, and from the wearing of traditional dress to the celebration of their culture and heritage in festivals.
