Reperio is a student programme of TT Shuttle which empowers Caribbean students to take advantage of present cross-border opportunities among the islands and beyond. Its objective is to create a forum by which all Caribbean students, regardless of language and culture may be able to seize and create opportunities for themselves. In delivering on these objectives, the programme focuses on strengthening relations between students of Trinidad & Tobago and their Caribbean counterparts, through stronger partnerships with educational establishments across the region, and their respective Ministries of Education, Foreign Affairs, Tourism, and Culture. This will ultimately result in the facilitation of cultural workshops and exchange programmes.

Reperio is not only multicultural in its approach, but it is also multilingual, so participating students are encouraged to master  at  least one foreign  language.  Currently  the  programme is trilingual in focus: English,  French,  and Spanish.
