CLOSING CEREMONY of the V International Conference For the Balance of the World “With all and for the good of all” (great tribute to José Martí on the occasion of the 170th anniversary of his birth)
Saturday, January 28 – Hall 1 of the Convention Palace, Havana, Cuba
This global forum for pluralistic and multidisciplinary thought is convened by the José Martí International Solidarity Project, which since 2003 has been supported by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization; the Organization of Ibero-American States for Education, Science and Culture (OEI), and other international bodies.
The International Conferences “For the balance of the world” have become important academic spaces where hundreds of professors, social activists and intellectuals in general from all latitudes of the Planet meet every three years to reflect on the main contemporary problems.
This global meeting, which will be the culmination of the great international day for the 170th anniversary of the birth of José Martí, apostle of the Independence of Cuba and universal thinker, also aims to be a continuation of the World Conferences Dialogue of Civilizations and an extension of the debates of the World Congress of Humanities held in Liège, Belgium, under the auspices of UNESCO and the International Council for Philosophy and Human Sciences.
It is open to all people of good will, to intellectuals, artists, politicians and activists; to educators, writers, journalists, social fighters, members of solidarity movements, political, trade union and religious leaders, to members of scientific, feminist, youth, peasant, environmental non-governmental organizations… driven by principles of justice and equity.
The purpose is to transform this forum of pluralistic and multidisciplinary thought into a stage where it contributes to raising awareness among world public opinion in order to create a consciousness against the evils that afflict Humanity today and put the very existence of our species at risk.
Through committees, panels, workshops, symposia, youth spaces, keynote lectures, special interventions and other forms of reflection and debate, the Meeting will develop a comprehensive agenda that will include:
