Likewise, the Taller martiano (Marti workshop) is an opportunity for pedagogical people to do researches on the subject. According to sources from the Provincial Education Offices, nearly twenty investigations will be presented this year.

On January 28^th, the traditional parade will take place in all of the island’s municipalities, when the characters of Marti’s stories and poems sort of are brought to life by the children.

The Patria es Humanidad (Homeland is Humanity) exhibition, at the local Oscar Fernandez Morera Art Gallery, will be appropriate closing tribute to the Teacher.
