The work of young Caribbean innovators is taking centre stage at the #CHOGM2026 Youth Forum in Antigua and Barbuda right now! They're sharing their robotics prototypes, research and ideas for building a more resilient Caribbean with Commonwealth leaders.
In the lead-up to this moment, young people and mentors from across the region have been working together across borders and blue waters to turn their ideas into practical solutions to shared blue-green challenges.
Go behind the scenes with participants in COL’s Pan-Caribbean Youth Robotics Innovation Project for Blue-Green Resilience and Prosperity for a glimpse into the teamwork, creativity and preparation that went into bringing their ideas to the CHOGM stage.
Follow the project and stay tuned for pre-recorded presentations from the teams: www.col.org/youthrobotics

Dominica’s Independence Day provides an opportunity to acknowledge the country’s continued investment in education, skills and resilience, and its efforts to prepare learners and communities for a changing future.
Through its ongoing national education reform agenda and investment in TVET, Dominica is placing greater emphasis on practical and creative skills, technology, critical thinking and entrepreneurship. Plans for the country’s first Centre of Excellence for TVET are also expanding pathways to specialised training and skills for the workforce.
These priorities connect closely with COL’s engagement in Dominica across teacher education, digital learning, higher education and skills development. Work in these areas is strengthening flexible learning, digital and AI literacy, mathematics teaching, micro-credentials and TVET, while also supporting disaster preparedness, sustainable agriculture, food security and more resilient livelihoods for farmers and rural communities.
On their Independence Day, we celebrate Dominica’s progress and wish its people continued success in strengthening learning, livelihoods and opportunities across the country.

At the Pre-CHOGM Foreign Ministers Meeting in Antigua and Barbuda, COL President and CEO Professor Peter Scott presented COL's strategic talking points for #CHOGM2026, highlighting opportunities for Commonwealth countries to accelerate partnerships and investment in education, skills and lifelong learning.
COL's 15 talking points and 12 concrete opportunities for action focus on transforming learning systems, strengthening pathways from education to employment, building digital, green, blue and creative economy skills, and using emerging technologies responsibly. They also address cross-cutting priorities, including climate resilience, gender equality, and the unique challenges and strengths of small states.
These priorities matter for people across the Commonwealth: young people gaining the digital skills to launch businesses, teachers bringing new technologies into their classrooms, and communities building resilience through climate-smart livelihoods. Turning these opportunities into reality will take stronger partnerships and a shared commitment to results that last well beyond CHOGM.
On COL's interactive CHOGM microsite, we invite stakeholders across the Commonwealth to explore the talking points, consider the proposed actions, and reflect on where we can make the greatest difference together.
