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 Foundation strives to foster and promote a process of ongoing and permanent education in those countries where it operates (Spain, Colombia, Brazil and Argentina), a process we see as beginning in the school room and continuing far beyond the university campus to embrace lifelong learning. Over the course of 2010, the Foundation has continued to run and support its well-established initiatives: the 25th Annual Monographic Education Week, the 4th Annual Lessons and Masters Seminar, the 3rd Annual Formentor Literary Conversations Seminar, which paid tribute to Jose Saramago and Miguel Delibes, and the 3rd Annual International Don Quijote de la Mancha Award, which honored Juan Goytisolo and the Association of Academies of the Spanish Language. 2010 saw the launch of the Seminar on Narrative and Journalism at the International University Menéndez Pelayo, the Forum on Spanish-language cultural industries: USA and Spain, and the Masters in Governance and Human Rights under the auspices of the Jesús de Polanco Memorial Chair for Ibero-American Studies and the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (UAM). A number of collaboration agreements were signed with institutions such as FUNGLODE (the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development) for the the development of social and cultural research projects in the Dominican Republic and Spain. Championing human development PRISA’s media have long championed campaigns in favor of human rights and development as promoted by NGOs such as Intermón Oxfam, Ayuda en Acción, Red Cross, UNICEF, Medicos sin Fronteras, Save the Children and the UNHCR. Support is offered through habitual reporting and specific sponsorship or promotion deals. Each of our companies collaborates at an individual level and on occasions we act in a coordinated fashion across a number of companies or as a Group as a whole. Throughout 2010, Grupo PRISA has continued its tradition of fostering and promoting social solidarity, human rights and the environment in order to raise awareness among readers, viewers, listeners and users. 31
