The XCT (Xarxa de Custòdia del Territori or Land Stewardship Network) Technical Conference was held again this year in a fantastic setting, in a farmhouse that has been adapted for training in the county of Lluçanés.
Mladen Cholich, First Prize winner of the 54 International Music Competition Maria Canals de Barcelona (2007), just won the first prize at the 52 International Piano Competition in Jaén (Spain) and Scipione Sangiovanni, finalist at the 54 Maria Canals in 2007, has obtained the second prize in the same competition.

Statement by W. Robert de Jongh, Managing Director, SNV in Latin America, on the passing of Coimbatore Krishnarao (known as CK) Prahalad, the Harvey C. Fruehauf Professor of Business Administration at the University of Michigan Business School and a longstanding and outstanding member of WRI’s Board of Directors.
“CK Prahalad was an inspiring thinker and visionary committed to innovative solutions that had the potential to transform the practice of business — relentlessly pursuing that “next practice” through which business could do well by doing good. As one of the father’s of “inclusive business,” Prahalad embodied the wisdom, patience, and intelligence required to catalyse a movement that we as SNV and in his honour, are proud to continue to embrace, advance, strengthen and scale in Latin America and around the world. He will be missed, but his legacy will continue.”
