Building on an initial capacity-building training held in September 2023, an online experience-sharing meeting is convened on 12 June 2025 to provide a platform for Caribbean SIDS to deepen collaboration, share lessons learned, and explore strategies for nominations to the Lists of the 2003 Convention.

The meeting objectives are:

• Showcase recent country-level experiences from Caribbean SIDS in preparing first-time nominations to the Representative List using the dedicated revised Form ICH-02. Topics will include strategies for stakeholder consultation, securing community consent, and drafting and revising forms.
• Provide updates on key outcomes of the global reflection on the Convention’s listing mechanisms that were not covered in the 2023 training. This includes the latest changes related to the Register of Good Safeguarding Practices and the launch of a new platform for sharing good safeguarding experiences.
• Gather feedback and identify support needs from participants regarding future nominations – both national and multinational – and explore areas for continued technical assistance, peer support, and regional cooperation.
