Watch. This. Space!

It is a new year, but our mode of operating remains the same.  We have recharged and are working steadfastly towards the main historic event of the nation’s UNESCO ICH-sponsored National Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Project.

And, yes, the Warri Revival Program, the ICH safeguarding pilot exercise launched August 2025, will continue this year, venturing into more schools, and institutions in the private and civil sectors.

Since the launch of the Warri Revival Program, we have been getting many questions. Below are the top three along with our answers.

Question 1: Are the official UNESCO-sponsored Warri Revival Program boards for sale?

Answer: Sorry, no. The official Warri boards are not for sale.  They are for the use of our Warri trainers in the training sessions designed to spread the knowledge and skill of Warri across Antigua and Barbuda. HOWEVER, we will soon be introducing Warri board-making training sessions for nineteen (19) youths in Antigua and Barbuda.  Look out for more on that in our January 19^th update.

Question 2: Is there an age limit for participation in the Warri playing training sessions?

Answer: Well, let’s put it this way, so far, we have had trainees from five years old to 80 years plus-some-ABST old.

We have undertaken, and will continue conducting, training in schools, and with groups from the private and civil sectors. Want to book a group session/attend a training session? Please contact Mr. Trevor Simon of the Antigua and Barbuda Warri Academy (ABWA) at (268) 784-7172. The ABWA is the facilitator of the Warri Revival Program.

Question 3: When will the Warri Revival Program and all training come to an end?

Answer: An END?  An END!!  We do not use words like those around here. The UNESCO-funded portion of the program will end this year, but the Warri Revival Program is here to stay!

Stay tuned for our January 19^th update!
