Círculo Abierto

Fundación Círculo Abierto (often shortened to Círculo Abierto or FCA) is an independent, non-profit organisation based in Colombia that has worked since 2010 in the design and execution of education and culture projects. Its stated purpose is to transform education by placing quality literature at the heart of all learning, and it describes a special passion for literature and books. The foundation presents itself as independent and without profit motive, and it combines programme work in education and culture with publishing and public literary events. On its official website, Círculo Abierto describes itself as "una organización sin ánimo de lucro e independiente que trabaja desde el año 2010 en el diseño y ejecución de proyectos de educación y cultura," adding that its purpose is "transformar la educación poniendo la literatura de calidad en el corazón de todo aprendizaje." This positions the organisation at the intersection of education, cultural programming and publishing rather than as a conventional commercial publisher alone. The organisation also functions as a small press. Wikidata classifies Círculo Abierto as a "small press," and the foundation's website features a "últimas Publicaciones" (latest publications) section listing titles such as Enheduanna, Termitas and Marina, la sepulturera de algas, each with a "comprar" (buy) link. This indicates that Círculo Abierto publishes and sells books directly, in addition to its educational and cultural work. Círculo Abierto is also active in the literary public sphere. Its website reports on events such as a conversation at the Feria Internacional del Libro de Barranquilla, Atlántico y el Caribe (Filbac) between Chilean writer María José Navia and Colombian writer Daniela Sánchez, centred on three of Navia's works: Kintsugi, Una música futura and Todo lo que aprendimos de las películas. The foundation's site also publishes articles and reflections on topics such as social impact measurement, the Triple Bottom Line and literary culture, indicating a broader editorial and knowledge-sharing role. Because the available evidence is limited to the foundation's own website and a Wikidata classification, details such as its exact headquarters address, founding individuals, governance and funding sources are not documented here. What is clear is that Círculo Abierto operates as a Colombian non-profit cultural and educational foundation with an active publishing arm and a public events and editorial programme focused on literature.
