Dear Members, scholars, alumni, partners, and friends of our beloved foundation,
In just a few weeks, this year will come to an end—a memorable year in many ways, in which our Gran Familia Fundación Educación achieved many milestones.
Among other things, we celebrated our 30th anniversary, awarded more than 1,600 scholarships, we have more than 1,400 successful alumni in our five countries, we have strengthened our financial base to grow further, and above all, we have very strong teams in Switzerland and all our countries, which are ready to transform the lives of more talented young people in the future.
Thank you very much to each and every one of you for your passion and determination—it is thanks to this mutual effort by all that so many dreams are coming true, one after another!
Medellín Workshop—creation of our “Vision 2035”
Without a doubt, one of the great highlights of 2025 was the strategy workshop in Medellín. For the first time in our long history, we brought together representatives from the Board of Directors, all our Local Committees, all Academic Institutions, and finally Scholars and Alumni from all our countries to jointly design our future – our “Vision 2035.”
This multi-day meeting was extremely inspiring and not only strengthened the bonds between us all, but also our aspiration to make Fundación Educación:
“One of the most recognized talent development programs in Latin America”!
A very special thanks to the entire team made up of Local Committee members, Scholars and Alumni from Colombia, representatives from EAFIT, and members of the Board of Directors who simply worked their magic in organizing this great event. Every detail worked like clockwork—with precision and beauty that is hard to beat! Finally, our friends in Colombia produced this beautiful Fundación Educación video that—without a doubt—touches the heart!
Happy Holidays and all the best for the New Year!
It is with immense joy that we close this year—with great satisfaction and enormous gratitude to all of you for your dedication, perseverance, and for living and transmitting the values of our beautiful foundation.
On the eve of the end-of-year celebrations, we would like to send each and every one of you our best Christmas wishes. May we, together with our families, recharge our batteries with joy and energy to start 2026 with the wind in our sails.
Warmest regards from Switzerland—and see you again soon!
Isabel, Ursula, Ricardo, Marcus, Ivan, Christian, Steffen, Ueli, and Marco
(members of the Board of Directors of Fundación Educación)
