Interview with Lisa Kurapkat, Master Student from Germany

On November 10th, the National Coordinator, Ms. Shannon Weekes, and the Administrative and Logistics Officer, Ms. Jahdae Parris, were interviewed by a Master student, Ms. Lisa Kurapkat. Ms. Kurapkat is doing her Master’s  in Sustainable Regional Development at the University for Sustainable Development in Eberswalde, Germany.  Her thesis revolves around the development of a concept for the Barbados Trailway, a paved bicycle and pedestrian path located primarily on right-of-way lands of the former Barbados Railway.

During the interview, Lisa asked about the potential of integrating measures for young people into the trailway concept, current projects that have proven successful and how CYEN can be integrated as a key actor into the participative planning process long term as it relates to the Barbados trailway project.
