Fundación Santillana

The Fundación Santillana was established in 1979 to promote educational and cultural projects, to foster the active exchange of knowledge between Spain and Latin American countries, to organize forums for the exchange of ideas and to sponsor initiatives related to the world of publishing, information and education.

The strong presence of PRISA’s media and publishing companies in Spain, Portugal, Brazil and the United States, reinforces the presence of the Fundación Santillana over a wide linguistic, geographical and social area. Channeling initiatives that respond to criteria of excellence and quality, promoting debate on crucial issues, identifying the most qualified cultural agents and disseminating their contributions are just some of the goals adopted by the Foundation since its inception.

The Fundación Santillana is committed to active engagement with the civic values that enable the free and fruitful production of cultural goods that are accessible to all citizens. The free flow of ideas, and the related processes of research and development, promotes social and economic development, favors the development of responsible citizenship and fosters tolerance and peaceful coexistence.
