Team Who are we? Governance

Binational team, shared dialogue

The binational character of the foundation pays tribute to the Franco-Spanish heritage of the Carasso family. Its teams work towards the same goals related to sustainable food and socially engaged arts, adjusting their actions to the specific characteristics of each local context. The ongoing exchange between both countries enriches cultural dialogue and promotes mutual learning.
