SAN ANTONIO, Cuba (SJ) — The International Film and TV School (EICTV) in Cuba will open a scholarship program to train youths from Caribbean member states of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of the Americas (ALBA).

The school, located 19 miles from the capital Havana, will in particular grant three-year scholarships to youths from Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, and St Vincent and the Grenadines. The initiative is part of the ALBA cultural program, which will finance the EICTV courses.

Other courses in the program are aimed at training indigenous and rural women in the audiovisual field and in the preservation of the environment. These courses and workshops are aimed at all ALBA countries (Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Ecuador, Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, St Vincent and the Grenadines) as well as other countries of the region.
