The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation aims to contribute to the promotion and consolidation of existing ties between Extremadura, Europe, and Ibero-America. In line with this goal, the Foundation organised the course “European Union-Latin America and the Caribbean Relations: New Times and Renewed Commitments” along with the EU-LAC Foundation in order to analyse “how to strengthen relations between these two regions to promote multilateralism and combat the challenges that constantly threaten us, with the aim of strengthening our democracies and creating certainties”. This was stated by Pablo Hurtado Pardo, director general of External Action of the Regional Government of Extremadura and member of Yuste Foundation’s board of trustees, during the course’s inauguration.

The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation and the Fernando Valhondo Calaff Foundation have renewed their collaboration commitment through an agreement that will serve to update the academic objectives and social and cultural synergies that they have already been developing together in the region.

Aiming to analyse the implementation of strategies that contribute to the construction of peaceful, supportive, and egalitarian societies, and to promote the creation of alliances that can address the current levels of uncertainty facing Europe and Ibero-America, the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation, along with the EU-LAC Foundation, organised the course “European Union-Latin America and the Caribbean Relations: New Times and Renewed Commitments” to be held from the 23rd to the 25th July at the Monastery of San Jerónimo de Yuste. This course concludes the Campus Yuste training programme framed within the 25th International Summer/Autumn Courses of the University of Extremadura.

The director general of External Action of the Regional Government of Extremadura, Pablo Hurtado, inaugurated the course “Reinventing Europe in the Face of Current and European Challenges” which will be held until Friday at the Monastery of San Jerónimo de Yuste. This course is organised by the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation within the framework of the 25th International Summer/Autumn Courses of the University of Extremadura.

A month after the European Parliament elections, the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation has organised the course “Reinventing Europe in the Face of Current and Future Challenges”, which will be held from 17 to 19 July at the Monastery of San Jerónimo de Yuste. This course aims to analyse the major current and future European and global challenges that the new European government will face, as well as the strategies and priorities that will shape the new political cycle. The course is part of the Campus Yuste training programme organised by Yuste Foundation within the 25th edition of the International Summer/Autumn Courses of the University of Extremadura.

Juan Carlos Moreno Piñero, director of the European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation, stated that it is essential to continue studying emperor Charles V at the inauguration of the course “Conflicts in the Worlds of Charles V: The Enemies of the Empire”. His style of governance and the conflicts of his era have significantly shaped the course of current history. He, therefore, affirmed that “in today’s world, it is more necessary than ever to maintain humanistic studies of history”.

The European and Ibero-American Academy of Yuste Foundation has organised the course “Conflicts in the Worlds of Charles V: The Enemies of the Empire”, which will be held from July 9 to 11 at the Monastery of San Jerónimo de Yuste, the Foundation’s headquarters, as part of the Campus Yuste training programme and within the 25th edition of the University of Extremadura’s International Summer/Autumn Courses.
