Bermuda’s ties with Virginia began with the wreck of the Sea Venture and in 2007 Virginia celebrated its 400th anniversary. Bermuda played a significant role in their observances and we would like to include Virginia in our celebrations. Our aim is to encourage students to
learn more about the history of the two former Virginia Company Colonies.

- YOUTH IN DEBATE by Bermuda 2009 YOUTH FORCE
- The Youth Debate is the second of seven events being planned by the Bermuda 2009 YOUTH FORCE.Several primary school students have been preparing for the Youth in Debate plank for months. They are working with Dynamic Debaters and Learners and have confirmed the topic, “This house believes that the sailors who experienced Bermuda before 1609 were in the wrong profession. “ The students have used the book Miracle as their source. They have investigated the stories surrounding sailors who came to Bermuda before 1609 and how they reacted to our island. It is said that many visitors (sailors) were terrified of Bermuda as they heard it was inhabited by witches and devils. It is said that many grown men ran from birds and vowed never to return. Through this topic, the students have become more familiar with the debate format and plan to awe their audiences as they take to the stage on Thursday, April 16 at 6.00 p.m. and Friday, April 17 at 9:30 a.m. at Prospect Primary School. All are welcome. The students will receive certificates and the winners will receive gift certificates and trophies. There will be a cup presented to the primary school that has the most students in attendance.
