CarIPI contributes to the UNESCO Global MIL Week 2026 Side Event in Curaçao

On 4 November 2026, CarIPI takes part in the UNESCO Curaçao Media and Information Literacy Workshop with an interactive presentation on the intellectual property (IP) rights of Caribbean creatives. As part of activity 9 under its second annual work plan (AWP2), CarIPI contributes to the second day of the workshop with a presentation on the intellectual property rights of Caribbean creatives, delivered by the project’s IP Expert, Dr Wendy Hollingsworth.

The presentation draws attention to the importance of IP for creators, innovators and the creative sector in the region, and to the role of awareness and knowledge in helping people protect and make the most of their creative work.

Structured around three themes, “Know it. Defend it. Navigate AI.”, the presentation gives creators practical guidance on the different types of IP that protect creative work, how copyright arises in Curaçao, how to record a dated deposit of your idea or creation, and what to do when work is reused without permission.

CarIPI’s participation reflects the project’s commitment to promoting a wider understanding of IP among the public and key stakeholders across the CARIFORUM region.
