King Felipe of Spain and mediation of differences between the government in Madrid and the Catalan people
06/27/2014
Prince Felipe, now King of Spain, is thrust into the role of mediating differences between Madrid and Barcelona. Felipe's fluency in the Catalan language and his knowledge of Catalan society are likely to help him navigate the period ahead- with Catalans feeling their grievances over language and other issues have not been heard or resolved. A professor at Georgetown where the prince did his masters degree in international relations see him well trained with the human qualities for the task- as also some Catalan journalists and influential members of Catalan society.

The Economist 08/10/2018
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
