Building Bridges That Last

We foster cross-cultural collaboration. The Cuba Project focuses on student engagement in Cuba, collecting oral histories of the Cuban people, and facilitating non-political, academic agreements between U.S. and Cuban institutions.

Cross-Cultural Collaborations

We support the nonpolitical, academic exchange of information between the U.S. and Cuba through the facilitation of tours and partnerships, with an emphasis on cultural exchanges, student internship programs, and the promotion of joint academic research and publication.

Our work in this arena is open to any industry or sector, but we prioritize projects that focus on art & culture, higher education, documentary photography and film, oral history and academic research, health and wellness, and the environment and sustainable agriculture. We also work to identify and apply for grants that provide funding to our partner organizations.

“What I loved the most about this project was being part of the daily life of the Cubans, and I know I would not have gotten this humbling experience anywhere else.”
