The Australian Leaders Program was created out of the desire to offer prominent Australian professionals an up-to-date view of contemporary Spain within their respective fields. Likewise, the member entities of the Foundation have the opportunity to exchange insights on both Australian and Spanish realities through dialogue with the Program’s participants.
The structure of the Australian Leaders Program is built around a multi-day working agenda in which the invited professionals gain first-hand knowledge of Spain through institutional presentations, round-table discussions, working lunches, cultural visits, and seminars.
The ultimate goal of the Program is also to foster a valuable network of contacts among top-level professionals in their sector.
