== Calendar of Monthly Cuba Cultural & Film Nights ==

Cuba today is advancing revolutionary ideas not only in the sphere of
politics, but also culture. Cuba's revolutionary ideas have become an
inspiration for many countries, and their people, in Latin America and
around the world. Cuba has become a pioneer both in defence of human
dignity, by resisting against the US government, the most vicious
imperialist, and in human culture by promoting the most revolutionary
ideas and experiments. 

Vancouver Communities in Solidarity with Cuba (VCSC) is organizing a
monthly Cuba cultural night in Vancouver on the first Friday of every
month in appreciation of Cuba’s contributions to world civilization.
VCSC’s goal is to open more opportunities for everyone to find out more
about the Cuban cultural experience. These cultural nights will include
casual cultural and political discourse. We invite you to join us in
developing and expanding the concept of the Battle of Ideas in the
cultural arena. The calendar below is the program for the first four
months.
