We are organising this Study Tour in association with Havanatour, the UK’s leading Cuba travel specialist. The Study Tour will be ATOL protected (ATOL 4636) and Havanatour Booking conditions will apply.
The Study Tour would provide the unique opportunity to:
- Attend, by special invitation, the Cuban May Day Rally addressed by Raúl Castro and joined by over 1 million Cuban workers in Plaza de la Revolución, marking the 52nd anniversary of this special day in the Cuban political calendar.
- Strengthen solidarity links with Sister Trade Unions and CTC, Cuban Trades Union Congress, in Havana and the provincial capital of Pinar del Río, and provide a series of related professional visits to workplaces, institutions and neighbourhoods to gain a valuable and unique insight into the continuing achievements of the Cuban Revolution and present day Cuban society
- Examine the challenges facing the revolutionary island as well as the problems caused by the on going illegal US trade blockade of Cuba.
- Meet and discuss current issues with Cuban workers in their workplaces and neighbourhoods
- Experience the captivating capital city of Havana and vibrant Cuban culture at first hand. This is a wonderful opportunity to see the real revolutionary Cuba away from the usual tourist trail, experience Cuba’s rich and diverse cultural heritage and provide visible solidarity and support to the Cuban people.
