108 Sustainability at PRISA talks given by experts. One of the most lauded initiatives was the event ¡Grandes Profes! (Great Teachers!), a collaboration with the Atresmedia Foundation, in which professionals from different fields pooled all their knowledge and placed it at the disposal of teachers in order to help and motivate them in their daily lives and to recognize their work in the classroom. In Puerto Rico, a partnership with UNESCO helped transform school principals and teachers, while encouraging improvement in the academic performance of their students and reducing dropout rates. In November 2015, Alfredo Rojas, program advisor at the School Leadership Network of the Regional Bureau of Education for Latin America and the Caribbean (OREALC UNESCO Santiago) gave a number of workshops on educational leadership for transformation. Fundación Santillana Every year since its creation in 1979, the Fundación Santillana, with its wide and varied program of activities, has set the standard for initiatives in the fields of education, culture, journalism and governance by creating spaces for reflection and dialogue, thus consolidating its institutional presence. The established and solid nature of Grupo PRISA’s communications and publishing media in Spain, Portugal, Brazil and Spanish-speaking countries in the Americas, reinforces the presence of the Foundation across a broadly diverse linguistic, geographical and social region. In Latin America, the Foundation’s activities are focused on fostering debate on education, as well as supporting initiatives that encourage reading and literacy. Culture Other economies in the creative industries sector. One-day presentation and training session with Creative Industries Network With the European Institute of Design (IED) March 17, Madrid At the second edition of the Design and Growth Program for Innovative Enterprises, a one-day session was held with special guest Christian Felber, renowned for his Economy and the Bank for the Common Good. Participants included Mercedes García de Vinuesa, president of the State Coordinating Body for Fair Trade; Patricia Gonzalez, co-founder of Alterkeys; and Ramon Puchades, director of Talent United.
