“Tridents Turning the Tide” is a multimedia storytelling project by W&L students in JOUR 299. Through journalism and strategic communication, students in the course explore how Barbados confronts the climate crisis – from community resilience and policy advocacy to rum production and cultural heritage – and don’t forget coastal preservation and biodiversity conservation.
The Barbados national flag features a trident and so does the mascot of W&L. The title of the project uses metaphor to indicate how students worked to spotlight efforts by Barbadians to raise awareness, make change, and navigate the uncertainty of the climate crisis.
Dive into dispatches, documentaries and behind-the-scenes moments from the front lines of climate action. Explore stories, commentary and poetry. Witness efforts by the government of Barbados, nonprofit organizations and everyday Bajans to turn the tide.
