Abertis, with culture worldwide

The Abertis Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Plan establishes the involvement of the Group in the communities where it carries out its business.
It is not only youngsters in the major cities who are in danger if they take risks while driving. Those living in smaller towns are not impervious to road traffic accidents either.
Along these lines, the Abertis Foundation has taken the campaign “Te queda una vida” (You have only one life) –started successfully in Madrid and Barcelona in 2007– to smaller cities. In 2018, “Te queda una vida” travelled to towns such as Mataró (Barcelona) and Calella de Palafrugell (Girona, a province where it was launched for the first time).
“Te queda una vida” aims to alert youngsters between the ages of 18 and 30 of dangerous behaviour behind the wheel. To do so, volunteers from the Red Cross and monitors from the Guttmann Institute whose injuries have put them in a wheelchair visit areas of nightlife. The monitors show youngsters the consequences of their road accidents. Seeing them in a wheelchair and hearing their unfortunate experience makes youngsters more sensitive to the explanations and aware of the danger of using alcohol and drugs, programming the GPS or answering your mobile phone while behind the wheel or riding a motorbike without a helmet.
The Abertis Foundation concentrates the “Te queda una vida” activities during the summertime, one of the seasons of greatest mobility. The campaign teams were in Barcelona and Mataró on 15th and 16th June, and in Calella de Palafrugell on 14th July.
But “Te queda una vida” doesn’t stop here. The initiative has crossed the Atlantic to other countries where the Abertis Group operates, such as Argentina, Brazil and Chile.

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.
