INTRODUCTION
The
Fundación de Fomento Europeo
was founded on 18th June, 2007 in Barcelona, Spain.
The experience
and maturity resulting from the nearly 20 year-long activity of the
Parent Institution, Agrupación Española de Fomento Europeo, made
it clear that it was necessary to create a Foundation,
which would make it possible to further implement the activities
that are been carried out and to extend them to new facets, so
as to promote understanding among nations, individuals, and
their Universal Values.
PURPOSES
The
purposes of the Fundación de
Fomento Europeo are based upon the ideology of Agrupación
Española de Fomento Europeo, which was set up in 1991 in
Barcelona, Spain, along the lines and the spirit of the “Charter
of Paris for a new Europe”, which was signed by the 32 European
States and the United States and Canada, all of which are
members of the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe
(CSCE).
It is the aim of
the Fundación de Fomento Europeo
to continue and to extend, as much as possible, the task that
the Agrupación Española de Fomento Europeo has been carrying out
for over 15 years. Therefore, it endeavours to unite all the
individuals of good will, with broadminded humanity -regardless
of their country, language, ethnic group, religion, beliefs,
ideology, etc,- who struggle to build a Europe that lives in
peace, freedom, solidarity, and harmony, and who contribute to
encourage and practice the values that bring us together.
GOALS
The main goals of the
Foundation, which does not serve political or economic
interests, are the following:
-
To contribute to a
greater rapprochement and integration of all the nations,
cultures and ethnic groups of Europe.
-
To encourage the
mutual exchange and knowledge among these, their cultures
and traditions.
-
To promote, in
Spain as well as throughout all the nations in Europe, the
idea of "Europeanism" as a supranational value.
-
The implementation
or promotion of activities intended to contribute to
establish relations between the Spanish nation and other
European nations.
-
To promote,
encourage and protect cultural, sports, assistance and
social institutions that endorse the rapprochement and
integration of nations.
It will not be a requisite to implement the different activities
simultaneously; rather, the Foundation will determine in each
case what suits its interests better, in terms of its economic
resources.
ACTIVITIES
In order to
achieve the purposes specified in the above section, the
Foundation may organise all kinds of events, both on a domestic
and international level, which will include the attendance of
outstanding personalities from the fields of Arts, Sciences and
Literature. Some of such events may include the following:
-
To organise and
collaborate in different activities in the spheres of
culture, sports, social and humanitarian activities, of a
public as well as of a private nature, domestic and
international, that might contribute to a greater
rapprochement among nations.
-
To promote and
institute scholarships, aids, or subsidise studies, works or
activities pertaining to the purpose of the Foundation.

To announce
contests, organise exhibitions, and to sponsor publications
and studies.
-
To institute

addition to honours.
-
To promote any

resources.
