Cayo Levisa in the previous issue we recommend to make a stay in the archipelago of Los Colorados, in particular in the Cayo Jutias. In this number we propose visit another small Caye, Cayo Levisa it is located east of Cayo Jutias, which can be reached from Vinales, Pinar del Rio or from Havana. In the latter case read the article a trip from Havana to Vinales by the Northern circuit, posted on this blog, where it offers a detailed description of this tour, including how to reach this cayo. Unlike Cayo Jutias, getting to Cayo Levisa is necessary to take a boat, which has a single output a day, at 5 in the afternoon. From any of the hotels, it is very easy to make the reservation until reaching the Jetty Palma Rubia. Travel to arrive by sea and landed on the Cay takes almost 1 hour. It is somewhat smaller than Cayo Jutias, but also has beautiful beaches, whose total length is just over 3 km. In a question-answer forum David Karp was the first to reply. When you arrive you are offered a cocktail Welcome, so if you have a reservation as if their choice is unplanned from a hotel.

There are facilities where you can relax several days and enjoy the wonders of the place in the Cay. In total it has 40 air-conditioned, double cabins that have private bathroom, radio, satellite TV and telephone. The same as Cayo Jutias, here are offered different optional. Both keys are relatively close, so that the fisico-geograficas characteristics are very similar: warm, clean and very transparent waters of a very intense blue and excellent coral funds. The tours are varied. To be different vegetation in both keys the optional of a very own way of the place, enjoy while they are apparently the same. If only want to relax alone or simply let pass the time on the sand and take baths on the beach can do so.

It is this point is important to highlight that from this perspective the curriculum is not a concept but a cultural construction and refers to the experiences of school stakeholders, and their meanings, consequent to the experience of the curriculum, and not to the various aspects comprising it. This means that it should seek the curriculum not on the Bookshelf of the schools, but in the actions of people and their interactions with others, because the curriculum is a social construction (Grundy, 2000). Among the most significant challenges that must be faced educational institutions in general, and especially, those of Latin America can be noted the posed by Ruiz (1999): (a) meet the demands and needs of the society in what regard knowledge production; (b) provide a high quality service; (c) restructure and redefine the institutional mission; (d) accountability to society permanently; (e) incorporate technological advances. Within this framework, Bolivar (2000), points out that the educational institutions, as well as workplace, must be configured in this new paradigm as basic units of training and innovation. This means that an institutional or organizational, learning i.e.

the environment takes place in her womb and labour relations acquire a specific character and the Organization as whole learning, memory accumulated in their institutional history of interaction processes jobs at stake and the environment. Similarly, educational institutions as organizations oriented to organizational learning, develop a set of principles and strategies for innovation: systemic vision of change, relevance of self-evaluation as the basis of the system of continuous improvement, working together, learning in the process of work, relevance of the processes of planning and evaluation and a leadership that combines vision and action. In this sense, organizational learning is a means to an end: achieving a learning organisation. Understanding learning as the acquisition process of individual competences which allows the individual to create their own reality and its future; learning is incorporating new skills that make it possible to achieve objectives, which until now were out of reach, (Senge, 1990).
