We hereby extend an invitation to participate as a speaker or organiser of an activity at the 10th International Symposium of the World Centre for Humanist Studies (WCHS): ‘UTOPIAS IN PROGRESS. Pathways to the Universal Human Nation’, which will take place from 8 to 11 May 2025, on streaming and presential in some places.

In the last edition in 2021 there were 98 activities including presentations, round tables and conferences translated into 5 languages, attended by 1760 people from 53 countries, promoting the overcoming of the limitations that prevent us from finding creative solutions to the current global situation. Our intention is to overcome the limits again through your participation.

The upcoming Symposium is intended to be a space for critical, constructive and creative dialogue, to promote a deeper understanding of the current multidimensional crisis and to create a space for the expression and convergence of ongoing utopias, i.e. projects in the making, experiences that pave the way in different fields for the Universal Human Nation, towards a future without walls, non-violent, sustainable and equitable.
