Hosted by Argentine First Lady Juliana Awada , the programme seeks to promote the best of Latin American art, culture and cuisine, and to raise awareness about the region’s most pressing issues, with a special focus on early childhood.

First Lady Awada will take advantage of the opportunity to promote Argentina’s National Plan on Early Childhood, which is being developed by the Argentine Government.

In the evening, leaders and partners will participate in a cultural event at the iconic Colón Theatre . Then, they will have dinner at the theatre’s Golden Room.
