Social Forum
The space where you can reflect freely with prestigious speakers on how to build a better world together
Knowing and learning. Flee from simplicity and static visions. Address the complexity of the whole. Debate. Dialogue. Reflect. Visibilize. Build. These are the pillars that of the Rototom Sunsplash Social Forum. It is a space for listening and speaking, free of thematic boundaries, about culture, environment, economy, human rights, peace and social movements; about conflict and, political and humanitarian crises, but also about their solutions and alternatives. Both present and future. About realities that coexist on the same planet, and that are sometimes unknown. And all this from the hand of expert voices, anonymous or not. From front-line protagonists. Of those who bet on a turn, and change the course. Driving forces of those other possible worlds.
