Students also have access to many exciting areas of Havana, including Old Havana and the financial and commercial district in Miramar. As part of the Afro-Cuban Culture course, students have some afternoon field trips to sites such as old coffee plantations, churches, and religious temples. Organized group outings introduce students to the world of Cuban dance performances, concerts, plays, etc. The U of Havana and Wake Forest U have workshops for participating American students. Twice a week, our students team up with U of Havana students and Havana's school children to learn about Cuban culture and the historical and architectural surroundings of Old Havana, the historic section of the city.
Students receive internship credits for the projects.
