Dominica has been at the fore in pushing the climate resilience agenda to become the world’s first climate resilient nation. The Resilience Mural Challenge proved that the spirit of resilience is very much alive in the people of Dominica. The challenge saw participants passing, posing and posting all with the aim of reminding Dominicans about the journey to resilience by 2030.
March 2023 saw the conclusion to CREAD’s PASS,POSE & POST Challenge. The challenge invited Dominicans to pass by the six resilience mural locations, pose to take creative photographs and post to Facebook/Instagram as part of the thrust toward enhancing the national collective consciousness such that the quest towards climate resilience continues unabated even after CREAD’s mandate has expired. The challenge ran from Saturday February 25th to Monday 27th March2023.
At the prize giving ceremony held on Thursday 9th April, 2023, the following winners were awarded their respective prizes:
