Manifesto Jamaica Manifesto Jamaica Manifesto Jamaica is a social enterprise committed to educating, exposing and empowering youth through art and culture. We believe that the creative arts can be used to effectively alleviate youth unemployment, poverty, violence and social exclusion. Our mission is to develop and attract opportunities for young people that inspire creativity, productivity and elevated consciousness, by harnessing the talents of nation builders. Manifesto Jamaica emerged in May 2010, around the same time Jamaica was experiencing significant social and political upheaval during the Tivoli Gardens incursion. Our first project was a creative arts exhibit and performance at a Greenwich Town Labour Day event in 2010, planned in collaboration with the Social Development Commission (SDC).
