On the 6th of December, hundreds of LVC representatives gathered in Bogotá, to debate the movement’s strategic priorities for the next four years. The articulation of this action plan emerged directly from the deliberative discussions and critical analyses of regional realities that have been the focus of the first few days of the 8th International Conference.
The 8th LVC International Conference is a space for critical reflection on the structural forces creating global crises, and the power of this moment to build connections between grassroots movements that are developing alternative worlds in the present. It presents an opportunity to deepen understanding of the contradictions and grassroots strategies of resistance.
La Via Campesina, recognizing the importance of engaging and facilitating parents participation, especially women, in the debates and decision-making spaces of the movement, is providing a childcare service during this 8th International Conference. A group of 15 children aged between 2 to 12 years old are being cared for while their parents participate in the conference proceedings.
