As Cuba wraps up its first year under a new president, enacts a new constitution, and adjusts to a changing U.S. policy dynamics, join us to discuss the impact of these developments on Cuban civil society. We will hear from international NGO practitioners based full-time in Cuba, an observer of the faith community in Cuba, and Cuban entrepreneurs in a lively discussion, followed by an audience Q&A.
Light breakfast will be provided.
