As our the president of the Foundation says: “The strength of an association and its team are its values and the meaning it gives to its actions. Since its creation, we have constantly defended the acceptance, respect and creation of an artistic cultural harmony between the continents. The exchange and participation of all the people I meet reinforce my belief that, together and in a spirit of solidarity, much can be done for the good of humanity. Together, let’s build a harmonious world whose main concept will be: ART AND CULTURE WITHOUT BORDERS.”
With this spirit the Art & Culture without Borders Awards were born in 2018 when during a gala dinner at the Real Madrid’s famed stadium, Santiago Bernabeu, the fist awards were given to personalities from all over the world who, due to their social and / or professional activity, contribute to the success of our mission and our objectives which are:
- The preservation of indigenous traditions and cultures.
- Promote the cultural heritage as a fundamental right because every human being should be able to enjoy, have access to and participate in their cultural heritage.
- Promote cultural freedom and its diversity.
- Organize inter-cultural projects to strengthen the bonds of trust and reconciliation between peoples.
- Defence of culture in a social context with the aim of creating a more harmonious and happy world by collaborating with official institutions and non-governmental organizations.
