Speakers and presentations

In this 10th Symposium we will have a discussion about how Andean ancestral knowledge  in the conservation of the Páramos provide concrete solutions to the climate and ecological crisis,  to the convergence of knowledge from the different cultures of the world, as well as to the utopia of a diverse and ecological planetary civilization.

Recognizing ecocide as the 5th Crime Against Peace in the International Criminal Court. Is it a utopia?

From this website we will be announcing the activities that will be carried out in our 10th International Symposium of the World Center for Humanist Studies, which will take place from May 8 to 11, 2025. 

Between the 8th and 11th of May 2025, the tenth edition of the International Symposium of the World Center for Humanist Studies will be held, which on this occasion is entitled “UTOPIAS IN PROGRESS: Paths towards the Universal Human Nation”.

从文化多样性角度看克服个人与社会危机的人文主义道路

本次研讨会旨在揭示当前历史阶段中正在经历个人与社会危机的结构。这场危机给人和民族带来了深重的痛苦，而被建立于暴力基础之上的资本主义、消费主义、掠夺性全球体系的扭曲叙事积累加以剧烈。

在充满不确定性、非理性主义、倒退颓废的信仰与意识形态的时代，这种方法涵盖了广泛的挑战，从寻求存在的意义，到战争、核威胁、贫困、机会不平等、歧视，以及气候与生态紧急情况等。

除了深入探讨现行制度终极危机的结构性理解和历史进程之外，本次研讨会首先寻求成为一种提出新的人文主义手段来克服这一危机的催化剂。

为此，最根本的前提是汇集地球上所有文化的贡献，去理解并克服经过几个世纪殖民主义强制给人类的政治、经济与文化模式的偏见与局限。各民族文化传统中最先进的元素必须汇聚在一起，作为人类历史上第一个地球文明的基础。

同样重要的是要明白，如果未对我们看待自己，看待世界上正在发生的一切的方式进行转变，就不可能有任何改变。我们的世界已成为了吝啬与疯狂的受害者，因此有必要培养一种超越这恶性世界操作方式的目光，并通过培养清醒意识和“良好知识”来拓宽视野。

UTOPIA IN PROGRESS
Pathways to the Universal Human Nation
May 8-11, 2025

This Symposium is interested in unveiling the structure of the personal and social crisis that is going through the current historical moment. A crisis that causes deep discomfort to individuals and peoples and is fueled by the accumulation of distorted narratives of a capitalist, individualistic and predatory global system, which imposes its structure based on violence.

The 9th International Symposium of the World Centre for Humanist Studies (WCHS) will take place the 28th, 29th, and 30th of April. Since the beginning of the WCHS international symposiums, 15 years have passed and the organisational deployment of volunteers around the world to make it happen has multiplied in each edition of the symposium.

The dimension of the current crisis shows that the current economic system - based on a productivist and consumerist model dependent on the domination of the great international financial capital - does not work; that it is taking the terrestrial ecosystem that supports life to the limit of the point of no return; that is governed by the value of money; that it sits in the paradigm that grants capital the power to decide on the direction of profit, while the worker only receives the salary; that it has a skewed distributive matrix of capital and that leads to usury, speculation and the gene

In different regions of the world, entire towns were devastated by invaders who converted them into slavery and through territorial invasion and material looting, entire population strips remained submerged in poverty until the present.

But not satisfied with this type of holocaust, an attempt was made to suppress the Cosmogony of these Ancestral peoples with different campaigns of "Extirpation of Idolatry", as in the case of America.

The evident crisis of civilization that humanity is going through, as well as the reality of climate change, place the human species before ecological limits which, if they were to be exceeded, will continue to seriously disturb living conditions throughout the planet. Hence, without a doubt, it deserves deep reflection and action to face the future.
