Celebrating 60 years
Homage to our Origins
On achieving 60 years of Best Village Excellence:
This is a significant milestone for the Ministry, Best Village Unit and the people of Trinidad and Tobago. Best Village continues to be a catalyst for development in the area of culture, sport, food, craft and the environment in both urban and rural communities.
This developmental program has been able to empower fledgling artists to become icons, producers and in many cases exporters of our beautiful craft, food and culture to far reaching shores. They are the proof that our level of talent, skill and professionalism rival huge nations.
From the rituals of the Amerindians to the carrying on and evolution of the traditions and cultures of the people who came from Africa, China, Europe, India, and elsewhere we have developed a culture that is distinctively Trinidad and Tobago.
Since the birth of our independence, The Prime Minister’s Best Village Program continues to provide that platform for building and showcasing our heritage, our culture, our people and our energy.
