About
In 1985 the first mobile phone call was made in the UK, Michael Jordan was the NBA Rookie of the year, and Greenheart was founded.
In 1985, Greenheart (formerly known as Center for Cultural Interchange or CCI) began sending high school students to the United States from Spain. We are proud to say that today our organization works with over 60 different countries around the world to facilitate cultural exchange opportunities.
