Remember when we promised an EPIC REVIVAL of our traditional board game Warri? Well, here comes the Revival! The WARRI REVIVAL PROGRAMME kicked off at the National Public Library with an exciting Train the Trainers session. Running from July 3-10, 2025, this is the opening move towards bringing Warri back into the hearts and hands of our communities! Catch the details in the video below!

So, to recap:

The Warri Revival Programme, part of the UNESO ICH Fund-Sponsored National Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Project, will train 550 students and 50 NGO members in Warri-playing. The Revival will also birth a new generation of 18 Warri board makers, including youths from vocational programmes and the national prison. Furthermore, throughout this and the next year, ABWA will also plant 200 of the Caesalpina Crista, the “nickal”/”nicker”/seed-producing tree. Three varieties of the seeds are typical in Antigua/Barbuda: the grey, the brownish-orange, and the black.

Stay tuned for updates on how YOU could be a part of this project!
