A New Approach to Cultural Learning

 

We’re reimagining how cultural education is shared—making it more accessible, engaging, and rooted in community voices.

Our approach blends traditional knowledge with modern tools to create resources that speak to today’s learners while honoring the past. Whether you're in the classroom, at home, or leading a community initiative, you’ll find content that inspires curiosity, creativity, and connection.

FEATURED HISTORY GUIDE

Our Islands’ Story: A Student’s Guide to the History of the Cayman Islands from 1500–1950 is the first Cayman history textbook created especially for children and classroom use. This limited-edition volume, crafted by Caymanian authors, illustrators, designers, and researchers, offers an authentic, accessible introduction to our Islands’ rich heritage, resilient people, and vibrant culture. Developed as a living, evolving resource, it lays a foundation for future editions that will expand and deepen our understanding of Cayman’s collective history and identity.

Cayman Heritage & Traditional Practices

 

Caymanian heritage is rooted in the traditions, skills, and values passed down through generations. These practices reflect the lived experiences of our people and the environments that shaped everyday life.

We introduce key aspects of Cayman’s cultural heritage, providing context for learning and exploration. It lays the groundwork for understanding how traditional knowledge continues to inform identity, community, and cultural preservation today.
