Sponsored by the universities of Havana (UH) and Saragossa, the event will also serve to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the creation of the “Jose Marti” Cuban Culture Department at that Spanish center of higher studies.

Ana Maria Gonzalez, founder and coordinator of the Department, told the press that the meeting will take place at the Latin American Department of the Faculty of Arts and Letters of the UH and at the San Geronimo College, the latter located in Old Havana.

She also informed that the event will include visits to places of historic and cultural interest in this city, bilateral lectures and panels in linguistic research works, art history and contemporary literature teaching, and the cultural roots of the two countries, among other topics.

During the inaugural session, professors of the Spanish institution and of the Department will be presented with the plaque “280 Anniversary de la UH,” in a ceremony slated for the main lecture hall of the San Geronimo College.  (ACN)
