Butragueño welcomes the Vice President of Ecuador to Ciudad Real Madrid
The Real Madrid Foundation strengthens its commitment to Ecuador with a new training agreement.
Emilio Butragueño, director of Institutional Relations at Real Madrid, welcomed the Vice President of the Republic of Ecuador, María José Pinto, to the Ciudad Real Madrid in an institutional meeting aimed at strengthening the collaborative ties between Ecuador and the Real Madrid Foundation.
The visit follows the recent signing of an agreement between the Real Madrid Foundation and the Ecuadorian government to develop a national training program for education and sports professionals. The four-year agreement, involving the Ministry of Education, Sports, and Culture, as well as the Ecuadorian Electric Corporation (CELEC EP), will annually train 350 physical education teachers from public schools using the Foundation's socio-educational methodology.
During the meeting, both institutions highlighted a relationship that dates back to 2010, the year the Real Madrid Foundation began its activities in Ecuador. Currently, four social sports schools operate in different parts of the country: Quito, Guayaquil, Manta, and Pile-Montecristi, in collaboration with the International SEK University, the SEK International School Guayaquil, and the Núñez Learning and Training Center (CAF). These initiatives benefit nearly half a thousand children and young people through projects that use sports as a tool for education in values and social inclusion.
The meeting also provided an opportunity to explore new avenues of cooperation to further expand the social impact of sports and strengthen joint efforts to support Ecuadorian children and youth.
