Literature, Journalism, Philosophy, Philanthropy… – Atenea Americana by Stanford Hispanic Broadcasting

Atenea in Spanish means “The House of Culture.” It is a name inspired by the goddess of war and culture “Athens” (in Spanish Atenea). In many Hispanic countries, there is a space called “Atenea” or “Ateneo.” This place is usually a hub for culture or cultural centers, where people meet to enjoy, get informed, and discuss matters of culture. This show represents that, as the aim is to join people through culture. Americana has many meanings in this context. One of them is the whole "American Continent" as this refers to it people in and out of Latin America, with different ethnicities and races but a similar thread in culture.
