Take part in the Peoples’ Summit!

The 2023 Peoples’ Summit awaits you! The voice of organizations and social movements is coming from every corner of Europe and the mountain ranges, forests and islands of Latin America and the Caribbean. They bring their aspirations, their desire for change, their festive spirit and the best intentions to build a more humane and just world. They come to share them at debates, meetings, workshops, a demonstration and a culture and music festival. In a world in crisis and in the full throes of change, the People’s Summit is bringing hope and invites you to take part. Come join us and show your support!

Why a Peoples’ Summit?

On 17 and 18 July 2023, a Summit of Heads of State and Government of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the European Union (EU) will be held in Brussels. At the same time, various political and social actors are organizing a Peoples’ Summit (with activites from 15 to 18 July), a mass event open to the most diverse range of views and ideas, aimed at:

- promoting an alternative model of development, cooperation and integration that is more just, more solidarity-based and more sustainable;

- fostering fair relations between the peoples and governments of Latin America and the Caribbean with the peoples and governments of the European Union, based on the principles of respect for international law, non-interference, sovereignty and self-determination;

- discussing current issues;

- sharing experiences of struggle and resistance;

- strengthening the ties between grassroots movements, trade unions, solidarity groups, migrant communities, associations and political forces and figures of both continents.
