In its reflection and analysis sessions, by means of panels and special interventions, as well as artistic presentations, it is intended to make visible Cuba’s commitment and work in the fight against racism and discrimination based on skin color and ethnic origin.

Likewise, among its objectives is the exchange of experiences among representatives from different countries on the confrontation and prevention of racism and discrimination based on skin color and ethnic origin, as well as promoting debate on issues of inclusion, integration, equality, equity and respect for identities.
