The director general of External Action and member of the board of trustees of the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation, Pablo Hurtado, reaffirmed today that Extremadura is committed to cooperation as the only way to solve present and future challenges at the inauguration of the International Congress “Cultural Routes and Itineraries for the Development of Territories”. In his view, understanding, respect, and collaboration are universal values that can address current and future challenges and conflicts.

The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation, the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science, and Culture (OEI), the Ministry of Culture and Heritage of Ecuador, the Metropolitan Institute of Heritage of Quito, the Secretariat of Culture of Quito, the Autonomous University of Zacatecas in Mexico, and the European Institute of Cultural Routes of the Council of Europe (EICR), within the framework of the ADELANTE 2 Programme for Triangular Cooperation between the European Union, Latin America, and the Caribbean, have organised the “International Congress on Cultural Routes and Itineraries for the Development of Territories”, which will be held from May 28th to 30th at the San Francisco cultural complex in Cáceres and in the region of La Vera, located in northern Cáceres.

The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation organised the session “A Glance Towards Europe: Business Issues and Challenges” in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Yuste and the Cáceres Business Circle in the framework of Europe Day, which was celebrated last 9th of May.
