On tour with Leandro Díaz m / band. (2009)
Many believe that “Love in the Time of Cholera” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez is one of greatest love stories ever written. According to Marquez his greatest source of inspiration for the novel came from the song “Let Dios Coronade” by the blind composer Leandro Diaz.
In August 2009 the Golden Colombia Foundation organized a Scandinavian tour with Leandro Diaz, along with his son, Ivan Diaz. The highlight of the trip occurred at the Hay festival in Molde, where Leandro was one of the main guests, and gave a very memorable performance.

The seminar "García Márquez's Colombia" at the House of Literature. (2008) At this seminar came the very distinguished Colombian author William Ospina, where he wrote an essay specifically devoted for the occasion. After the seminar, Golden Colombia Foundation arranged a tour around Norway for Ospina. The Golden Colombia headquarters is located in Austin, just outside of Bergen. During Ospina’s visit to Norway he completed the finishing touches to his novel “El Pais de la Canela” which came out later that year. The novel was awarded the 2009 Romulo Gallegos award, which is awarded every two years to the best Spanish language novel during that period. |

Kunsthåndverk (2008) Golden Colombia deltok på flere boligmesser med utstillinger av produkter fra kolombianske kunsthåndverkere, i et samabeid med kunsthåndverkorganisasjonen Artesanias de Colombia. Kunsthåndverk er en bransje som sysselsetter svært mange kolombianere, spesielt kvinner og i rurale strøk. Kunsthåndverkmessen i Bogotá som går av stabelen i desember hvert år, regnes som verdens tredje viktigste |
Kaffebar (2007)
Stiftelsen Golden Colombia var medeier i en kaffebar i Bergen – en social business - som solgte Golden Colombia kaffe og smoothies basert på kolombianske frukter som guanabana, maracuyá og lulo. På grunn av sprekk i ombygingsbudsjettet for lokalet måtte driften dessverre avvikles, men hele konseptet er veldokumentert og er tilgjengelig for den som måtte være interessert i å sette opp en kolombiansk kaffe-/fruktbar.
