This activity was held in the Cuban Art Factory cultural center, located in the capital, and was attended by 10 young students from different levels of education.
The attendees explained Michelle that Cuba guarantees children and adolescents the right to basic education from kindergarten to 9th grade, and then allows them to continue their studies in senior high schools, universities and technological centers.
Meanwhile, the First Lady praised the island offers the opportunity to start learning art since childhood and referred to her interest in expanding education on the planet.
In that context, she referred to the Let Girls Learn initiative, launched a year ago aimed at benefiting at least 62 million girls and adolescents in the world without access to school due to financial, physical and or cultural problems.
The conversation is part of Michelle's agenda in Cuba, where she arrived yesterday accompanied by her daughters and husband Barack Obama, the first US president that visits the Caribbean state in almost 90 years.
As part of her activities, tomorrow she plans to lead a ceremony in the historic center of Havana.
