About this Event
Annou sélébwé! LETS CELEBRATE
Kwéyòl Moves & Moments is turning ONE, and we're coming full circle with a special Jounen Kwéyòl Edition!
Join us for a warm, interactive afternoon celebrating Kwéyòl language, Saint Lucian culture and community through learning, play, movement and connection.
Whether you already speak Kwéyòl, you're learning, reconnecting with your heritage, or you're simply curious about the language and culture — you are welcome.
You don't need to come with children either! While the event is family-friendly, Kwéyòl Moves & Moments is for everyone.

🗣️ Fun and accessible Kwéyòl learning

🍽️ Light food and refreshments

This isn't about knowing everything or speaking perfect Kwéyòl. It's about having a go, learning together and creating joyful opportunities to hear it, speak it, experience it and keep it alive.
