Cuba

Cuba remains one of the few countries in the world that U.S. citizens are forbidden to travel to. This is not only a violation of our freedom to travel, but also impinges on freedom of religious groups and the free exchange ⁞of information and ideas through academic exchanges.

President Obama has lifted the ban on Cuban-American family travel, but we, and our allies in Congress, will push to end the travel ban for all U.S. citizens once and for all. To that end, we are consulting with Marazul Charters, Inc., a licensed travel service provider, on a number of research trips that allow U.S. citizens to legally travel to Cuba.  Contact us for information on 2010 trips for Professional Organizers, Professional Educators, and Professional Social Services and Mental Health Workers. Join us in this historic moment to open up travel to Cuba, paving the way for fully normalized relations with our island neighbor!

Each participant  MUST be able to qualify under a general license; we will facilitate this process with you.  To qualify for a trip you must be working as a full-time professional in that field.Only you can determine if the work you do constitutes full-time work (paid or unpaid). Please make sure that your resume reflects the work you do.

The final stipulation for traveling legally to Cuba is that you intend to disseminate the products of your research in some public way when you return to the US. This can be achieved by participating in public forums, by writing and publishing articles in professional publications or a number of other ways.
