Forum Social Mundial (World Social Forum)

The World Social Forum (WSF) is an annual gathering of civil society groups, activists, and activists worldwide who seek social justice, equality, and sustainable development. It provides a platform for open discussions, sharing ideas, and building solidarity around issues like poverty, environmental protection, human rights, and anti-globalization. Unlike political conferences, the WSF is inclusive and non-hierarchical, emphasizing dialogue and collective action. Originating in 2001 in Brazil, it aims to challenge dominant economic and political systems, advocating for alternative, equitable pathways to development.
