The association applied with a project to the competition “Proyectos de iniciativas de desarrollo de mercado para la Región Metropolitana” (Market Development Projects for the Metropolitan Region) of SERCOTEC to obtain financing for the design and positioning of a new web portal, www.spanishschoolsinchile.org which will be the common platform for members to promote their Spanish courses in the Spanish, English, Portuguese, German, French, Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages. We reached the final stage where the financing was rejected by the regional tribunal, despite an impeccable defense by the President Stefan Meffert.
