Know and learn. Avoid simplicities and static visions. Address the complexity of the whole. Debate. Dialogue. Reflect. Visibilize. Build. These are the pillars that support the Social Forum that the Exodus Foundation organizes and coordinates during Rototom Sunsplash. A space to listen and speak, without thematic limits, about culture, environment, economy, human rights, peace, social movements. About conflicts. About political and humanitarian crises, but also about their solutions and alternatives. About the present and the future. About realities that coexist on the same planet, and that are sometimes unknown. And all this from expert voices, anonymous or not. From first-line protagonists. From those who bet on a turnaround, and change the course. The promoters of these other possible worlds.

Many names have passed through the different editions of the Social Forum. Desde las Nobel de la Paz Rigoberta Menchu and Shirin Ebadi, as well as the most recent person to be recognised by the Swedish Academy and to come to the festival: Mohamed Ben Cheikh, at the 2017 edition, the philosopher of modernity and sociologist Zygmunt Bauman, the environmental activist Vandana Shiva, the Egyptian economist and political scientist Samir Amin, Christian Felber (Austrian economist and ideologue of the Economy of the Common Good), together with a wide range of journalists such as the Egyptian Mona Eltahawy, the Israeli Amira Hass, the Spaniards Ignacio Ramonet (director of Le Monde Diplomatique) and former RTVE correspondent Rosa María Calaf, the Italian Giulietto Chiesa and Sami Al-Ajj, journalist for Al-Jazeera.

Many other voices join them, representatives of different social movements, groups, professions and ideologies, adding diversity and plurality to this space for debate.
