Invitation: Cuban Ambassador Event August 24

Hola Friends,

Lisa Valanti, of the Pittsburgh-Matanzas Sister Cities Partnership Project asked that I invite a group of influential leaders and community representatives to attend this event to hear from and take part in dialogue with Cuba's Ambassador to the United States, Lianys Torres Rivera on August 24th. Please see the details below and complete THIS FORM if you plan to attend.

Please keep in mind that this is meant to be a pleasant conversation and not a political debate. I know that the political climate and issues that surround Cuba can cause dissonance but, as my guest, I ask that you please refrain from strong political opinions so that we can engage in a positive and productive conversation.

Invitation 

Presentation on the Jim Ferlo Sustainability Center Habana, Cuba 

Remarks from the Ambassador and others 

You are invited to a presentation of the Pittsburgh-Matanzas Sister Cities Partnership  project, The Jim Ferlo Sustainability Center. The presentation will include detailed  information on the effort to establish a sustainability Center in Habana, Cuba. This effort is in cooperation with The University of Havana, the Office of the Habana  Historian, and builds off of a memorandum of understanding with Penn State  University. The presentation will include current and future local efforts that support  this work.  

The goal of the project is to engage in a constructive and collaborative manner on efforts  to protect and support UNESCO World Heritage Sites that suffer from severe weather  events and complicated by the US Embargo. Further activities would include student exchanges, applied research, cultural exchanges, and other efforts to engage positively  on these issues.
