Cultural Event: Talk on ALBA

Every week we have a group cultural event, usually consisting of outside speakers coming in to talk about a particular subject.

This summer's events have included:

  • group trip to Coyotepe, a prison formerly used by Somoza and then the Sandinistas, the Verbena, a cultural event in Masaya
  • Elvis, a local economist, historian, and storyteller talking about the insurrection and revolution
  • Francisco, a local businessman to talk about ALBA
  • Clave de Sol, a local band playing Nicaraguan folk songs with explanations and discussion led by Elvis
  • group trip to Managua
  • group discussions
Here are some photos we took during the talk on ALBA given by Francisco.
