Seminars and Promotion Activities

The Science and Evolution Foundation is organizing in Chile a series of International Seminars in addition to the world celebrations of Charles Darwin’s birth, 200 years ago.

El Mercurio will provide support to the initiatives by the publication in its Sunday Supplement “Artes y Letras”, interviews and essays by our special guests, which will include their thoughts and articles on the evolutionary perspective. El Mercurio will also collaborate with the information and promotion of the events.

Chilevisión will support the initiative with a series of documentaries on evolutionary matters, funded by a grant from the Consejo Nacional de Televisión. Chilevisión is already preparing a miniseries consisting of three episodes that will show parts of Darwin’s trips in Chile, and their link to contemporary discussions on
evolution. The purpose of this miniseries is to connect the Chilean public to Charles Darwin and develop an interest in his work.
