Island Journeys: The Impact of the Island Way of Life at Home and Abroad

Discover What Island Life is Really About
Island Journeys crisscrosses the globe and explores the real beauty and innovative
spark that unites island states and the diasporas that struggle to maintain their connection
to their native lands. Whether you come from a country of billions or an island
that disappears on a world map, you'll find invaluable insights for understanding the
world you live in, including how to:
• Stay close to your roots, whether you are in your homeland or
working far away.
• Embrace common bonds and preserve what is important amidst rapidly
changing cultural, economic, and geographic environments.
• Make a world of difference by being yourself. Sometimes unexpected
people from the smallest islands can touch the world.
Let Carlisle Richardson, an islander and economic affairs officer for the United Nations,
share decades of stories and discoveries from islands around the world to help him
establish the Island Foundation, an organization that aims to promote education, the
arts, sports, and innovation while preserving island culture and heritage.
