This summer FLICS course is usually taught in Holguin Cuba, but due to recent U.S. aggressions, the course has been reimagined to take place at the Keele campus while retaining many of the experiential components of the course including: field trips, meetings with Cuban diaspora, expert lectures from Cuban health professionals, salsa classes, and supporting a donation drive to Cuba!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
