Fundación Cajasol hosts colloquium on resilience and life changes

The Fundación Cajasol hosted a colloquium titled ‘When giving up is not an option’ on September 30, focusing on life after life-altering accidents. The event featured Cisco García and José Luis de Augusto, two individuals who both suffered spinal cord injuries in 2015.

Cisco García, a lawyer and content creator, sustained his injury during a snowboarding accident in Austria. José Luis de Augusto, an aeronautical engineer and commercial pilot, survived the Airbus A400M accident in Seville.

Moderated by Magdalena Trillo, the discussion centered on adaptation and the ability to find new meaning in life rather than focusing solely on what was lost. Both speakers reflected on how their lives changed from their previous professional and personal successes.
