International Scope

Since its inception, the Talents for Life program was conceived as an international effort. In fact, it was first made public in 1995 at the X International Seminar held in Miami, Florida by the School of Economics Alumni Association of the Universidad Católica Argentina. The announcement was then made before an audience of government officials and businessmen from North and South America.

In Uruguay, several sports events were held during the summer season in Punta del Este, a well-know resort. The events covered various age categories and sports, attracting a large number of “talents” and a cheerful audience. An agreement has been reached with El País (the main Uruguayan newspaper) to ocntinue with the program during 1999.

In Santiago de Chile, the program was launched at the 2nd. Presidential Summit of the Americas in April 16 and 17, 1998.
