On May 9, we’ll be gathering at the IICA compound for a vibrant community event. The Festival of Collectives is a one day immersive gathering hosted by ARC CoCreate in collaboration with the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA), the Cropper Foundation and other CoCreate Cooperative members such as YAHP Students, LEAF, Grosvenor Horticultural, Learning to Live, Informal Art School & Groundation. Designed as a vibrant convergence of community driven groups, the festival creates space for connection and skill sharing among collectives across Trinidad and Tobago.
Think of it like a community sancoche, where each of us brings our skills, talents, ideas, and networks to the shared pot.
The primary aim of the festival is to strengthen the ecosystem of groups who are passionate about sharing resources and building fairer, more resilient systems in Trinidad & Tobago — systems that better value the labour, care, and lived realities of the people who keep our communities alive. We can’t wait to see you there.
