The Social Forum shares the theme this year with the first of the twelve debates that the area for reflection will host from August 16 to 22: “The right to be happy“.

That is the title of the talk to be led by the Lama Thubten Wangchen, Tibetan Member of Parliament in Exile and president of the House of Tíbet in Barcelona, which will take place on the first Sunday at 17:00.

A tireless promoter of human rights, he was one of the people behind the case threat was brought to the National Supreme Court against ex Chinese leaders for genocide in Tibet.

Recent reforms the Law of Universal Justice approved in Congress with only the votes of the PP, meant that last April the Supreme Court decided to close the case on Tibet definitively.

Besides inaugurating the debates programme of the Social Forum, Lama Wangchen will recite mantra in Living Energy (Tuesday August 18) and on Wednesday 19 he will participate in MagicoMundo, where he will tell the children some Buddhist tales.
