CALL V International Conference FOR THE BALANCE OF THE WORLD
“With everyone and for the good of all”
Dialogue of Civilizations
January 24 to 28, 2023

This world forum for plural 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; of 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 in which 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.
On this occasion, this world 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 intends to be a continuity 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.
We call on all people of good will, intellectuals, artists, politicians and activists to participate; to educators, writers, journalists, social activists, members of solidarity movements, political, union and religious leaders, members of non-governmental scientific, feminist, youth, peasant, environmental organizations… moved by principles of justice and equity.
We wish to convert this forum of plural and multidisciplinary thought into a scenario where we contribute to raising awareness in world public opinion to create awareness against the evils that today afflict Humanity and put the very existence of our species at risk.
Through commissions, panels, workshops, symposiums, youth spaces, magisterial conferences, special interventions and other modalities of reflection and debate, fundamental themes will be addressed, as befits an event of this nature and magnitude.
