Sustainable CUBA:
How Cuba Meets its Food, Medicine, Shelter and Energy Needs While Protecting its Environment


FIVE individual research and humanitarian delegations will explore the following themes:

And -- Celebrate
New Year's Eve in Havana!


Participants will be traveling legally under either a professional or humanitarian license and will be given a list of needed humanitarian items to be distributed in Cuba.

Each day we will travel in five groups, each focused on a different theme, to meet with Cuban experts in those fields, in their homes and workplaces. The final itineraries for each group will be determined by the interests and areas of expertise of the participants, as well as those of our Cuban neighbors and colleagues. Evenings will include small group meetings according to interest and activities in Cuba's vibrant cultural scene!
