Speakers and presentations

We will have an innovative presentation at this X Symposium on Future City, a political instrument formed at the beginning of 2013 in the city of Rosario, from the confluence of two autonomous social movements of the city, the Giros Movement and the 26 de Junio Movement, social movements that are referenced in the tradition of post-2001 experiences. 

Erika Anselin Avila and Edith Barrera Chavira will present a presentation that proposes the challenge of guaranteeing safe educational environments, free of violence and committed to human rights through a process of active peace and noviolence and proposes strategies aimed at strengthening the ability to respond The schools, prioritizing the integral protection of the victims, the implementation of effective protocols and the promotion of efficient inter -institutional collaboration.

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.

Human rights do not have the universal validity that corresponds to their purpose.

To begin with, human rights suffer the physical, economic, racial, religious, sexual and psychological or moral violence strikes, considering violence as a methodology of the different forms of discrimination.

And there are wars, poverty and social exclusion, racism, religious intolerance, gender inequality, censorship, defamation and coercion, as concrete expressions of daily attacks on human rights around the world.

In the context of the 9th WCHS Symposium, dedicated to the limits to overcome in order to get out of the unprecedented crisis that affects us, the eradication of violence is obviously one of the issues at stake.

The persistence of political and economic powers in using violence as a means to maintain or extend their hegemony, and the generalisation of violence as a basis of expression for human existence, lock humanity into destructive, pusillanimous and dead-end patterns.

The gender issue is crossing our borders of thought. Today the issue of gender raises not only sexual diversity, but also includes identity, the relationship between peers and with other generations, the relationship with the world, the interpretation of reality, etc.

In parallel, it is increasingly evident to society that violence against women is an undeniable historical fact over the centuries; An issue that, according to feminist currents, responds to the patriarchal structure of today's society.
