Fundación Carolina
La Fundación Carolina se constituyó, en octubre del año 2000, como fundación para la promoción de las relaciones culturales y la cooperación en materia educativa y científica entre España y los países de la Comunidad Iberoamericana de Naciones, así como con otros países con especiales vínculos históricos, culturales o geográficos. Sus motivos principales son:

  • La participación de actores públicos y privados de las relaciones entre España e Iberoamérica, como el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y de Cooperación, la Secretaría de Estado de Cooperación y multitud de empresas con participación en la región. La Fundación, por tanto, aparece como un ejemplo de las “asociaciones público-privadas” que se están promoviendo en la cooperación internacional al desarrollo.
  • La movilizacion de recursos privados para la cooperación con América Latina en los campos de la educación, la ciencia y la cultura, mediante las iniciativas y los programas de la Fundación..
