Caribbean Communities in Europe (CACOEU) was created in 2000 by a group of academics and community workers to create a community across the growing number of people with roots in the Caribbean who are living, working and studying in Europe. The aim is to share and preserve knowledge, culture and tradition for current and future generations. It creates a bridge between the ”˜elders”™ and the young people of the community, including those children born in Europe of mixed parentage who may become cut off from their Caribbean culture. CACOEU supports the positive development of the Caribbean Community in Europe by creating opportunities for people to share knowledge and develop new and existing skills. These include projects, events, workshops and seminars from which papers are donated for publication. CACOEU has strong links with and support from Goldsmiths University of London.
CACOEU exists to investigate, develop and record the cultural aspects of Caribbean life in Europe.
