The Department of Public Information reported that the two-day event, which is the first of its kind in Guyana, runs from 09:00 to 13:00h on December 14 and 15. From 18:00h to 20:30h on the first day, a special segment will be held to facilitate the views and recommendations of young people. Additionally, television viewers can watch the programme on TVG Channel 28, HBTV Channel 9 and HGPTV Channel 67. Radio listeners can tune in to Newstalk Radio 103.1FM which will live stream the conversation on both days.
The conversation will be launched with a general discussion on “How can we improve ethnic relations in Guyana”. The fully virtual forum, unavoidable due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, is intended to facilitate presenters drawn from Guyanese residing here and abroad and will reflect diversity.
The ERC hopes that the varying points of view of presenters and participants can serve in some measure, as a blueprint for possible solutions on the related challenges that confront Guyanese of all ethnicities.
The Commission is collaborating with the Office of the UN Resident Coordinator and the University of Guyana in hosting the premier event.
