Patrimonio Nacional (Spain's National Heritage), with the support of ACS Foundation, launches the educational program "Discover the Royal Sites", with the aim of promoting architecture and heritage among primary and secondary school students, and raising awareness of Patrimonio Nacional as a unique cultural institution in the world.

The proposals being introduced for the 2026/27 school year are the following activities:

The Work of El Escorial. Visit to the Museum of Architecture for secondary school groups: The recently inaugurated Museum of Architecture at the Royal Monastery of El Escorial offers a visit focused on the construction of one of the most significant buildings in Spanish architecture, recognised by UNESCO for its architectural and construction values.

A King's Vision. Visit-workshop for primary school groups: Philip II built the Royal Monastery of El Escorial to commemorate the victory at the Battle of St. Quentin against the French and to create a funerary monument for his father, Emperor Charles V. The activity, in a visit-workshop format, allows participants to explore the Monastery and take part in a creative workshop.

On 16 and 17 September, the city of Zamora hosted the National Forum on Artificial Intelligence for Inclusion and Universal Accessibility in Municipalities, organized by the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP) and the Zamora City Council, with the collaboration of ACS Foundation, CERMI and ONCE Foundation.

The opening ceremony was attended by Francisco Guarido Viñuela, Mayor of Zamora; Luis Martínez-Sicluna Sepúlveda, Secretary General of the FEMP; Luis Cayo Pérez Bueno, President of CERMI; Jesús Hernández Galán, Director of Accessibility and Innovation at ONCE Foundation; and José Mayor Oreja, Director of ACS Foundation.

Representatives of public administrations, third-sector organizations, technology companies, experts and persons with disabilities shared experiences, identified challenges and opportunities, and promoted the development of innovative solutions that place inclusion and the rights of persons with disabilities at the centre of digital transformation.

The meeting concluded with the reading of the Zamora Declaration, open to all city councils to reaffirm their commitment to a technological transformation at the service of people, their rights and the improvement of public services.

Between August 3 and 14, the 29th edition of the Aspaym Summer Camp took place in Cubillos de Sil (León), organized by the National Federation of Aspaym and the Royal Board on Disability, with the collaboration of ACS Foundation, ONCE Foundation, and other institutions.

More than 120 children, with and without disabilities, from all over the country, enjoyed inclusive activities and dynamics alongside about thirty camp counselors at the accessible facilities of El Bosque de los Sueños. The common theme for all the games and activities in this edition was "secret agents".

Treasure hunts, games, and team-building dynamics fostered autonomy, cooperation, and respect for diversity among all participants, contributing to the right of people with disabilities to enjoy recreational and leisure activities.

During the 2025-26 season, more than 1,500 people at risk of social exclusion have benefited from the 30 sports projects in penitentiary centers across Spain, promoted by the Real Madrid Foundation in collaboration with the Ministry of the Interior and the Horizontes Abiertos Foundation, and with the support of ACS Foundation.

Using sport as a tool, these socio-sports projects promote healthy lifestyle habits and contribute to the development of personal and social skills that are essential for coexistence and the future integration of the participants. Through weekly football and basketball training sessions based on the methodology "For a REAL Education: Values and Sport", inmates work on values such as respect, responsibility, effort, equality, and teamwork.

On July 15, 2026, the commemorative exhibition for the 50th Anniversary of Hispania Nostra was inaugurated at the Casa de las Carnicerías in León, and the book that reviews half a century of Hispania Nostra's work in defending and conserving Spain's cultural and natural heritage was presented.

The exhibition was previously available in April at the Official College of Architects of Madrid (COAM) and now begins a traveling tour through different locations across the country, as part of the outreach activities to highlight Hispania Nostra's ongoing efforts to safeguard our heritage and the need for social participation in its conservation.

The exhibition, which can be visited until the end of August at the Casa de las Carnicerías (Plaza de San Martín 11, León, Spain), has been made possible thanks to the collaboration of ACS Foundation and Acción Cultural Española (AC/E).
