Hear Luisa Campos, Director of Cuba’s famed Museum of Literacy, along with the inspiring film “Maestra,” a short documentary on how young women participating in Cuba’s successful campaign against illiteracy not only made Cuba one of the most literate nations, but also were empowered in terms of their own expectations and self-image. Luisa Campos will speak on Cuba’s “Yo Si Puedo” program, which has been used around the world to successfully combat illiteracy, not only throughout Latin America, but as far away as Australia, where it has also been credited with helping to keep marginalized aboriginal people out of jail (see
