A birthright-style programme for Cuban Americans

Available for over a year

For many Cuban exiles and Cuban Americans, the island is just the stuff of memories. But there are now efforts to change that, including the ‘CubaOne Foundation’— a programme modelled on Birthright Israel, which offers free trips for young Jews to learn about Israeli culture and make connections with other Jews. Giancarlo Sopo is one of the leaders of CubaOne. Image: A man rides his modified bicycle past a vintage American car on September 16, 2015 in Havana, Cuba. Credit: Carl Court/Getty Images
