Course Description
As Americans dash to Cuba “before it changes,” it is clear that few understand the island, its history, and its people. Join us as we learn about the historical events that led to the infamous embargo and the everyday realities of Cuba, behind tourist images of beautiful beaches, classic cars, rum, and cigars. By the end of this course you will be able to identify and explain the significance of major people, events, and ideas in Cuban history, compare and contrast experiences of different groups of people in Cuban society, and get a glimpse of the rich arts scene that has been kept alive even throughout the hardest economical crisis. The Descubre courses integrate a variety of resources that you will be able to share with your students and bring Spanish culture alive in your own classroom. Conducted in Spanish.
