WIN for culture & nationhood

Identity, Pride and Creativity

Culture is entertainment; it is the lifeblood of our nationhood. Guyana's songs, rhythms, languages, and stories have carried us through slavery, indentureship, colonisation, and independence.

WIN will Restore Nationhood Through Cultural Revival.

  • Build Regional Cultural Centres.

  • Launch a National Language Revitalisation Plan for endangered Indigenous languages.

  • Host an Annual Guyana Global Arts Festival to spotlight our national identity on the world stage.

  • National Song Revival - "Sing Guyana", a national songbook for schools. Daily National Song - Encourage every school to begin the day with a rotation of national songs.

  • Radio Guyana Sings - Require all state-owned and licensed broadcasters to play at least 2 national or traditional songs daily.

  • Interschool & Interregional Cultural Competitions - "Tell Guyana" - An Annual National Cultural Championship held in each region and culminating in a televised National Final Awards.

  • Annual "Cultural Ambassadors of Guyana" ceremony.

  • Launch a Guyana Cultural Channel on YouTube and TikTok to archive and make our national talents popular.
