Organized by the corresponding Chair of the UO, the event included the participation of Canadian students from the Augustana project, who are studying here for a semester at the Faculty of Foreign Languages.

This body has been in operation since 2003 and brings together sociologists, historians, psychologists, philosophers, lawyers, economists and other specialists interested in the Anglophone world.

In previous appointments, analyzes related to multiculturalism and religion, non-verbal communication, tourism, immigration and native populations have been discussed, in addition to promoting student scientific work with different approaches to Canada.

Experiences with Canadian students in Cuban universities have also been exposed, particularly related to sociocultural animation techniques for the didactic treatment of errors in learning Spanish as a foreign language.

Other spaces were dedicated to Literature and Linguistics with an approach to contemporary Canadian poetry, the joule as a linguistic variant of Québec French, and Chilean literature in that country seen through the poetry of Jorge Etcheverry.

The student struggle in Québec in 2012, the new challenges and projections of Hispanicism in Canada, more than half a century of bilateral relations, the languages spoken in that nation and the recovery of the environment have also been topics of previous meetings.

The distinction of Canada as one of the main issuers of tourists to Cuba is a reality that is inserted in these academic seminars.
