First Congress on Universal Basic Income: Thinking about Basic Income in a context of crisis and transformation in Latin America
From July 17th to 19th | Hybrid mode | San Jose Costa Rica
Headquarters of the State Distance University, Montes de Oca, Costa Rica
The Latin American Network for Basic Income was created as a formal forum for study and dialogue among various actors and organizations interested in deepening the emerging discussion on Universal Basic Income (UBI). Alongside the regional network, national and local networks deployed their coordinated efforts to offer platforms for exchanging ideas and exploring UBI.
In this context, the First Latin American Congress for Unconditional Universal Basic Income (UBI) emerged as a platform for exchanging ideas and exploring UBI, fostering dialogue with movements, social organizations, and local governments throughout Latin America and the rest of the world. Its main purpose is to broaden and democratize the discussion surrounding UBI, learn about existing experiences, highlight its core principles, and coordinate future working networks.
The Costa Rican UBI Network, host of the First Latin American Congress for UBI, invites, either as speakers or listeners, people linked to academia, public administration, social movements, community and civil society organizations, and in general all people interested in UBI and its possibilities.
On July 18, from 8:00 to 10:00 AM, the CLACSO Working Group on Social Security and Pension Systems will participate in a special panel featuring Karina Batthyány, Executive Director of CLACSO; Berenice P. Ramírez López (Mexico) and Sergio Carpenter (Argentina), coordinators of the Working Group; and Gabriel Badillo González. This event will take place in the Daniel Oduber Auditorium.
