"From the Boogie Down to Ciudad de los Tinajones: Learning, Community and Transformation in Cuba

Abstract: In January 2026, a multidisciplinary delegation of faculty and staff from Lehman College embarked on a 10-day educational journey titled "Lehman in the Provinces." Traveling across the island from the urban beauty of Havana to the historic city of Camaguey, participants engaged with local educators and students, community leaders, and cultural institutions. This panel features members of the delegation who will explore how this immersion into the Cuban educational, social, and cultural landscape has reshaped their professional identities and pedagogical approaches.
