The event, held at the Florestan Fernandes National School, was dedicated to Commander-in-Chief Fidel Castro and the Battle of Ideas, and was part of the centennial celebrations of the historic leader of the Cuban Revolution.

  The gathering allowed for a deeper exploration of Fidel Castro’s political and cultural legacy in a context marked by narrative and communication disputes, Casa de las Américas explained on social media.

  During the dialogue, Prieto emphasized the importance of grassroots organizing as an essential tool for social transformation, highlighting that the ideas of the historic leader continue to inspire the peoples of the region in their struggle for a more just future.

  Casa de las Americas expressed its gratitude for the exchange, which it described as enriching and necessary for reinforcing Fidel Castro’s political and practical thinking at a time when Latin America faces common challenges regarding sovereignty and social justice.

  The course, which brings together young people from social movements and community organizations, provides a space for training and debate on the emancipatory strategies that marked the Cuban leader’s trajectory.
