   The rich, diverse, indigenous culture of Trinidad and Tobago and other Caribbean islands were inherited from the many cultures which occupied it  many ,many years ago. The Caribs and Arawaks were the first occupants. They then  shared the space with the Europeans  such as the Spaniards, the French, British and the Dutch.  During the slave trade the Europeans brought the Africans to work on the plantations . They were followed several  years later by the Indians who came as indentureship labourers. The Africans at the end of the slave trade  remained as the dominant  occupants. Their talented, adaptive and creative ways fostered the integration of all the cultures which were present thus creating a unique culture known as Caribbean culture.  

    The  Creative Learning Circuit  artists  are African-Caribbean natives who have been involved in  cultural events for many years and have been delivering arts programms in the UK  for more than 5 years.  Hence with our colourful costumes, electrifying performances exciting workshops and lots of experiences we would enrich the quality of any event.
