CPA Small Branches network supports Falkland Islands educational videos

The CPA Small Branches Regional Initiative Funds (RIF) has supported the Falkland Islands Legislative Assembly in their production of two educational videos launched before the 2025 Falkland Islands General Election on 11 December 2025.

The two videos were produced by the Falkland Islands Film Company and feature MLAs including Teslyn Barkman, Mark Pollard, Roger Spink, Jack Ford and John Birmingham.

The first video explores ‘why you should consider standing for election’ and the second video is on ‘why it's important to vote’. The two videos were shown in the Falkland Islands and shared on social media as part of an awareness raising campaign.
