For many of us we resolve to undertake a number of tasks, we create goals that are often easier said or written than done. If you are insistent on keeping to tradition, may I invite you to tackle a goal that is easily done - how about celebrating your island home every day of the year.
This could come in a number of ways, whether it is simply to visit a community within proximity, learning the history of that space; visiting a cultural/natural heritage site; immersing yourself in the intangible appeals of your island; engaging culture bearers in your community; taking a half day photographic island journey; attending as many cultural events as is possible; researching and documenting your family history; researching your community history; researching the biodiversity of your island; archiving family and community photographs; visiting a museum closest to you; exploring dynamic experiences in island heritage such as community heritage and world heritage; inviting a visitor into your home to experience your family and community life; or sharing the positive stories of your community and country via social media.
Should you achieve the above and more for 2014, we guarantee there will be a natural urge to celebrate the cultural heritage diversity of your neighbouring island! Think of the fun of island hopping whether region wide or across boundaries. But as always, I strongly believe that we need to first dig out and celebrate what's in front of us....A friendly tip from Island Heritage-scape.
