We are The Haitian heritage Group UK, previously The Knowledge Project CIC. We are a community interest company formed to promote culture, art and heritage and encourage young people to work towards leaving positive legacies in their communities.
Sponsoring the Haitian Heritage Group UK event provides you the unique opportunity to connect with a growing community of people from the second oldest country in the Western Hemisphere, to build cultural and historical awareness and show support for two important causes: the arts and education!
Each activity aims to reach a different key learning type and provides a fun, entertaining and engaging way to engage participants. Feel confident about supporting this local, heritage and cultural organization as you enjoy an unforgettable evening.
May 18th represents an important date for the Haitian community.
During the Congress of Arcahaie in May 1803, military leaders representing divided segments of Haitian society united against the French colonial army. The white band was removed from the French flag, creating the first Haitian flag, a symbol of the alliance formed in the Haitian fight for freedom.
This alliance, led by Jean-Jacques Dessalines, formerly an enslaved person, and Alexandre Pétion, a free person of colour, paved the way for the only successful slave uprising in the world and, eventually, the birth of a nation.
Celebrated in secret for decades, Haitians around the world now celebrate National Flag Day on May 18th, honouring the forefathers of the nation, expressing their national pride and replenishing their resolve for Haiti’s future.
