Cervantes Seminar 2017: “How do countries create political, social and economic consensus?”

 

After the success of the first edition: “How to create political, social and economic consensus in countries?”, Aspen Institute España and CAF-Development Bank of Latin America, organized this seminar for the second consecutive year in order to reflect and dialogue on current affairs and the challenges posed by leadership in the 21st century for the Ibero-American community.

To do this, it brought together recognized and emerging leaders from different Latin American countries, between 28 and 45 years old and from various sectors of our societies. This seminar aims to promote debate on current issues through contemporary texts, selected by the moderators.

This second edition was moderated by Enrique Mora, Director General of Foreign and Security Policy, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Spain and moderator of seminars at Aspen Institute España, and Helena Estrada, Founder of G25 Women in Argentina, an initiative from civil society to promote female leadership in politics.
