16 DE 24 FOUNDATION

Days are only 24 hours long. We sleep and dream 8 hours and then there are still… 16 hours left.

We would like to help youth and women to find and develop their talents, encourage their interest in learning and promote their compromise with philanthropy and the educational rounding that is required to sustain the principles and values of our social responsibility.

MISION

16 de 24 Foundation is a non-profit organization with no political affiliation. Our goal is to increase the contribution of youth and women to our economic, cultural and social network, by encouraging the thirst for knowledge, the education in human values and providing a space from which to address the challenges of our time.

THE SPACE

A relaxed space to learn by listening, debating and participating. A space without barriers, neither physical nor technological. A meeting space at the disposal of people and companies, to exchange experiences and share opinions, where we can learn. A forum for debate and experience-based learning. A space with a soul to host conferences, interviews and dialogue, a school of life.
