The Study Mission project will increase the student’s knowledge and awareness of the role of Cuba at a regional and global level, also delving into the most sensitive issues, such as poverty, economic problems, the recognition of civil and political liberties.
The stay in Havana will be a unique occasion to meet with senior Cuban officials and representatives of the international community. At the end of the program, the participants will master the knowledge of the Caribbean and Central American dynamics and at the same time they will have a broad vision of the relations between the Country and the two old antagonists of the Cold War, the United States and Russia.
The ambition of the project is to allow participants to broaden their horizons and leave preconceived visions behind. Shedding light on the Cuban experience will be the ideal starting point to fully understand contemporary issues and future prospects from a point of view other than the European one.
Last but not least, the participants will have the opportunity to discover in practical terms what dialogue and cooperation represent for a country like Cuba in relation to the major international actors, including the European Union, and in its bilateral relationship with Italy.
