ABOUT US
What is Small Island Unity?
The Small Island Unity Foundation (SIU) is the core platform in the Netherlands for the Dutch Caribbean islands of St. Maarten, Saba, and St. Eustatius to showcase their unique cultures through active participation in Dutch cultural events. We foster unity and celebrate the distinct traditions, heritage, and artistic expressions of each island within the diaspora.
MISSION AND VISION STATEMENT
To provide a vibrant and central platform in the Netherlands for Caribbean islands, starting with St. Maarten, Saba, and St. Eustatius, to engage in dynamic cultural events and exchanges. Our mission is to empower each island to express their unique cultural backgrounds and heritage, celebrating both the distinct identity of each and our shared Caribbean unity. We envision being the primary facilitator of cultural exchange for all Caribbean islands residing in the Netherlands, enriching the cultural landscape of the Netherlands by showcasing the eloquent and diverse traditions of our community.
