November 9th 2016 - Free screening of “The Power of Community, How Cuba Survived Peak Oil”, reflection of the peak oil scenario argued by oil industry experts and political activists.

The Cuban economy, heavily dependent on economic aid from the Soviet Union, suffered tremendously following the end of the Cold War. The nation lost half of its oil imports, and 85 percent of its international trade economy.

After this short movie, we’ll have a discussion about the issues and dilemmas that it raises and about what we can do individually and together to address this vital issue.

  • Time: 7.30-9.30pm
  • Date: 9 November 2016
  • Venue: Gateway building, G2:01, Bedford campus, Polhill Avenue
