Fifty Years of Dynamism of the Cuban Revolution

The first International Che Guevara Conference was a huge success with speakers from Canada, the US, Cuba and Venezuela and with more than 200 participants. While the first conference focused more on Che Guevara as a thinker and fighter this year's conference will focus on 50 years of the Cuban Revolution.  

The topics will cover a range of issues concerning revolutionary politics in Cuba, as well as building revolutionary movements around the world, such as: The history and first five years of the Cuban Revolution; the Cuban Revolution and the question of leadership; the legacy of Che and Fidel; the Cuban Revolution and its challenges after the collapse of the Soviet Union; the Cuban Revolution and the US blockade; what role the Cuban 5 play in diplomacy between the U.S. and Cuba; human rights, women's liberation and homosexual rights in Cuba; Cuba and democracy; Cuba and the concept of internationalism; Cuba and Latin America, and finally what lessons we can draw from the Cuban Revolution.

Speakers will come from Vancouver, across Canada and internationally - including Cuba. The conference will include documentary film showings, multimedia presentations and slide shows related to the topics. 

Low cost food and beverages will be served throughout the conference.
