Manifesto

The chapter Devoxx4Kids Caribbean follows the Manifesto of the global Devoxx4Kids.

You may read the official global Devoxx4Kids Manifesto (english) below. We have also provided a translated version in Papiamentu for the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao.

To the spanish and french speaking countries in the Caribbean, please excuse us as we have no translation yet in spanish and french language. We hope to get more volunteers from spanish and french speaking islands, so we can close this gap in short term. Want to volunteer;-) ? Please contact Devoxx Caribbean team.
