📅 6 September 2023 📍 Grenada

GRENED hosted a panel at the Deluxe Cinema in Grenville for secondary-school students, with Grenada National Reparations Commission chair Arley Gill, reparations advocate Laura Trevelyan, and Ambassador Kennedy Roberts. Gill discussed Grenada's history and the case for reparations; Trevelyan addressed her family's connection to plantation slavery and the education contribution announced earlier that year; Roberts connected the discussion to the Sustainable Development Goals. Students and members of the public questioned the panel. The event brought a reparations debate into a local school audience and showed how historical responsibility, education, and present development are linked in Grenadian public discussion.
