The Board of Trustees of the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation, which met today under the presidency of the acting president of the Regional Government of Extremadura, Guillermo Fernández Vara, approved the 2022 annual accounts, which make a net profit of more than 65,000 euros, allowing the Foundation to count with a net worth of more than four 400,000 euros.

The director of the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation, Juan Carlos Moreno, inaugurated the course “The Culture of Entertainment in the Worlds of Charles V: Social Life, Rituals, Parties, Games and Shows”, which addresses the construction of power and the image of the Spanish monarchy at the time of the emperor. This Campus Yuste course is part of the 24th edition of the University of Extremadura’s International Summer/Autumn Courses.

The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation continues with its objective of delving into the figure and time of emperor Charles V in order to make a character and his time known. This was a crucial period in history, when decisions were taken and fundamental changes were brought about, which we need to understand in order to better comprehend today’s Europe.

The acting director general of External Action of the Regional Government of Extremadura and president of Yuste Foundation’s Executive Committee, Rosa Balas, opened the course “EU-Latin America and the Caribbean Relations in the Framework of the Presidencies of the Council of the U.E and the EU-CELAC and Iberoamerican Summits”, to be held until Thursday at the Monastery of San Jerónimo de Yuste.

From 27 to 29 June, Campus Yuste will become a forum for analysis, debate and knowledge transfer on relations between the European Union and Latin America under the perspective of the presidencies of the Council of the European Union, at a time when Spain is assuming that presidency. This circumstance presents an opportunity to strengthen relations between the two regions, taking the existing strong historical, political, cultural, economic and social relations between the country and the Ibero-American region into account.
