Activities
The Foundation has amongst its objectives to improve the mutual understanding and images of the United States in Spain and of Spain in the United States. Additionally, we seek to strengthen ties between our country and the Hispanic community of the United States.
In order to achieve these objectives, each year an activity or conference is organized with the participation of diverse political, cultural and media representatives.
