Caribbean Internship Project
Twenty-six students from the three campuses of the University of the West Indies will travel throughout the region this summer to participate in the Caribbean Internship Project. This is a partnership established between the Centre for Population, Community and Social Change, an outreach thrust of the Department of Sociology, Psychology and Social Work at Mona and the Caribbean Support Initiative. The participating countries include Dominica, St. Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago and Jamaica. The students represent the disciplines of social work, education, sociology and research, psychology, law and media. The interns are expected to apply the skills learnt in their academic programmes to the various CSI projects in the participating islands. Some of the CSI supported projects include the regional radio project, the Roving Caregivers programmne, the story-telling for early childhood parenting support and the revision of Pathways to Parenting manual.
