Abertis, with culture worldwide
23 September 2019
The Abertis Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Plan establishes the involvement of the Group in the communities where it carries out its business.
The sensitivity shown by the Abertis Foundation towards the UNESCO MaB (Man and Biosphere) programme and the fact that the Abertis Group operates in different Latin American countries sets the context for our Foundation to be able to take initiatives such as this one: sponsorship of the 1st IberoMaB Youth Forum.
The Forum is to bring together a series of youngsters interested in the Biosphere Reserves of Ibero-American and the Caribbean, and to create a network to start an action plan for the conservation of the Reserves in the region.
The 1st IberoMaB Network Youth Forum took place in the Bosques de Paz Transboundary Biosphere Reserve between Ecuador and Peru from 5th to 8th December. The event, organised by the UNESCO MaB programme and the governments of Ecuador and Peru, involved the participation of 92 youngsters from 43 Biosphere Reserves in 23 Ibero-American and Caribbean countries. Thanks to the support of the Abertis Foundation, 5 representatives from the Biosphere Reserves in Spain and 5 representatives from Argentina, Honduras, Mexico, St. Kitts and Nevis and the Dominican Republic were able to take part in the Forum.
Special mention must be given to the presentation “International Category 2 Centre on Mediterranean Biosphere Reserves. Two coastlines united by their culture and nature”, given by Mari Carmen Romeva ad Joaquim Zaldo, as it attracted the interest of the audience as a unique case of public-private association in favour of the Biosphere Reserves.

In the previous summary we indicated that the artist Joan Miró maintained a close link with the avant-garde scene in Paris from his youth until a ripe old age. The exhibition sponsored by Abertis at the Grand Palais enabled the Catalan painter to return to the French capital.

In February 1917, Europe was immersed in the 1st World War. Pablo Picasso was 36 years old then, but was already a great artist who had started the Cubism revolution.
