The Foundation for the Social Promotion of Culture (FPSC), in the context of its Latin America Forum, organized a new informal meeting for diplomats and journalists in order to introduce and analyze together the study: “The atlas of interests of the European Union, Latin America and the Caribbean: contrasting the extent of the level of interest among the regions”.

There was a working breakfast on Thursday, July 2, at 9:30, in the Hotel NH Giustiniano (Via Virgilio, 1) in Rome.

The target of this study, which was done by the FPSC together with the Prestomedia Group and Mediatrends, is to show the insights that Latin American citizens have about the European Union and vice versa. The study was faced on the one hand from a phenomenological perspective and, on the other hand, it was seen through the information that the media provides as a source of knowledge for the citizens of both regions (the agenda-setting theory).

During the research, 906,080,000 citizens from both regions with access to the Internet were taken as a reference. The design of the research has collected and analyzed 300,686,543 interactions undertaken by this population through the Internet between the period April 2014-April 2015 in order to draw the lines of this II Atlas of Interests between the European Union and Latin America and the Caribbean.
