The week starting Monday, 27 August, GIS Spotlight opens young minds to ocean literacy, draws attention to tourism and refocuses on hurricane preparedness.

It’s never too early to enthuse school children about nature and the need to conserve it for the future. In time for school this year, government primary school students are reminded of an interesting competition that awaits them which is both stimulating and educational.

Join us to celebrate last academic year’s winners, Prospect Primary School, and their winning entry. Hear from government and private sector partners of this competition how they elicit ideas from young thinkers and artists about ways to keep our oceans and our planet a

living resource for all generations.

View the entries, especially the winners’, and participate in their enthusiastic and well-researched approach to the One Ocean One Planet theme.

Next, we bring you another Department of Tourism-led initiative to involve more of Cayman’s youth in the Islands’ heritage. Hear about another interesting competition that provides a fresh perspective on Cayman’s vibrant tourism product.

Learn about this year’s theme and discover the programme’s special attraction to both tourists and

residents.

Finally, as hurricane season continues, we revisit Hazard Management Cayman Islands to focus on being prepared for hurricane season. Discover how the various entities come together to try out scenarios and ensure they have their preparation plans, programmes and gear in readiness should storms affect the Islands this season.

Produced by GIS Marketing and Communications, GIS Spotlighthighlights government’s services and solutions regarding issues that concern and affect you.

The weekly programme airs Mondays on Cayman27 at 8 p.m. and on Saturdays at 6 p.m.
