PRESS RELEASE – A public lecture that was planned for today Tuesday, November 29, 2016 at the University of the West Indies Open Campus Saint Lucia on “The Evolving Culture and Identity of Taiwan” has been cancelled.
The university said the lecture has been cancelled due to the inclement weather and closure of schools by the Ministry of Education.
The lecture was a collaboration with the Embassy of the Republic of China (Taiwan) Saint Lucia and the Saint Lucia Republic of China (Taiwan) Alumni Association.
The lecture was expected to be delivered by well-known political commentator and lecturer Mr Denys Springer, who recently completed a six month attachment as a Research Fellow at the prestigious Academia Sinica in Taiwan.
It would have explored the evolving culture and identity of China and Taiwan, and also consider whether these changes, especially amongst the youth, represent an impediment to Unification.
