DESCRIPTION:Aleida Guevara Speaks in Vancouver, Canada \n\n3rd Annual International Che 
 Guevara Conference\nCUBA & REVOLUTIONARY INTERNATIONALISM\n \nTwo Day 
 Conference, Saturday June 26 & Sunday June 27, 2010\nRussian Hall\n600 
 Campbell Ave at Georgia St ~ Vancouver, Canada\n\nComing to Vancouver - Dr. 
 Aleida Guevara - lifelong Cuban revolutionary leader, prominent author and 
 daughter of legendary Cuban revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara. Aleida 
 Guevara along with speakers from Cuba, Venezuela, US and Canada will be at 
 the 3rd Annual Vancouver International Che Guevara Conference. \n\nSince 
 the triumph of Cuba’s 1959 revolution to today, the vision and political 
 ideas that shape the Cuban revolution remain a source of inspiration, 
 discussion and debate around the world. Through the ideas of Fidel, Che, 
 the Cuban socialist project, and the dynamics of the mass revolutionary 
 movement, Cuba has become a country renowned for its achievements in 
 health, education, culture, science and many other aspects of social and 
 human progress. Not only have these achievements benefited the people of 
 Cuba, but through the practice of revolutionary and working class 
 internationalism, Cuba has made important contributions to third world 
 nations across the globe, through brigades of Cuban doctors and teachers, 
 as well as active solidarity with people fighting against capitalist 
 injustice and imperialism. The Cuban socialist project and the Cuban 
 revolutionary leadership, despite 50 years of an inhuman and criminal 
 blockade by various US administrations, have never wavered to imperialist 
 pressure. \n \nThe annual International Che Guevara Conference is an 
 opportunity to discuss and debate the ideas of the Cuban revolution, its 
 dynamism and how it has impacted Latin America and the world. The first 
 International Che Conference in 2008 was on the theme “Che Guevara, 
 Thinker and Fighter: Are His Ideas Relevant for the 21st Century?” The 
 Second International Che Conference in 2009 was on “50 Years of Dynamism 
 of the Cuban Revolution”. This year's conference, “Cuba and 
 Revolutionary Internationalism” will  discuss the role of Cuba and 
 Venezuela in the movement for building a new world and the foundation of 
 the Cuban socialist revolution: revolutionary internationalism, its 
 dynamism and its impact both inside and outside of Cuba. The conference, as 
 in previous years, will feature speakers from Cuba,Venezuela,US and 
 Canada.\n \n>> Workshops Include:\n \n1. Cuba Today: How Far the Revolution 
 Has Come\n2. The Concept of Internationalism in Fidel's and Che's Ideas\n3. 
 The Origin of Revolutionary Internationalism: Explaining Marx and 
 Engels\n4. The Russian Revolution and the Foundation of the Third 
 International\n5. Cuba's Internationalism and its Influence on Hugo Chávez 
 and the Bolivarian Revolutionary Process\n6. Cuban Youth and Revolutionary 
 Internationalism\n7. The Call for a Fifth International: The Urgency and 
 Prospects\n8. Cuban Foreign Policy: Internationalism in Theory and 
 Practice\n \n** Saturday night of the conference, June 26 at 7:30PM will be 
 a special evening dedicated to the 5 Cuban heroes held in US prisons with 
 featured speakers, music, poetry and multimedia.\n \nFor updates and more
