EXTRACTS FROM THE FIRST
EVALUATION
“Soy ahora un ser mucho más
ancho desde la caribeneidad.”
“How so many strangers could
develop such a strong sense of
common purpose so quickly?”

“Hay un pequeño mundo roto por el
lenguaje y el mar, y hay un supraespacio
donde la unidad es necesaria y posible.
De eso se trata CARDICIS. “

“How come it was able to come to life as
necessary and lie dormant in between?”

“ Il ne faut pas que la région soit noyée
ou absorbée par la globalisation. ”

“ Les TIC offrent le meilleur moyen à la
Diaspora d'être "proche" à distance. ”

“I have a greater sense that I
might be able to do something
about the things that concern me:
empowerment  “
”

“ Je pense maintenant que des
réunions avec autant de
participants, dans des codes
culturels différents, peuvent être
efficaces, arriver à quelque
chose… ”
