Promoting our Culture, Heritage & National Identity

Too many Caymanians feel our culture is fading and our identity is being eroded. Cultural preservation is important to us as a people if we are to remain connected with our past, but it is also an important asset for our tourism industry.

TCCP believes in celebrating our culture and heritage, past present and future through:

• Developing a clear Caymanian identity with a distinct set of values, symbols, cultural elements, sociocultural, and historical facts and ensuring these are systematically promoted
• Supporting the promotion and teaching of Caymanian history and heritage in the education system and within the wider community
• Expanding access to arts and culture through education and community programming
• Mandating heritage and culture orientation for all new work permit holders or new residents
• Combining the heritage and culture ministries

Being Caymanian and taking pride in our country goes beyond where you’re born; it’s about the values we share and working together to uphold and celebrate our Caymanian way of life.
