URGENT TALKS

The event's 15 sessions opened up relevant and urgent conversations, with an intersectional perspective that focused on three axes: climate justice, racial and gender equity.
To do so, we not only gathered more than 65 speakers and moderators, but we also sought innovative formats that allowed us to enhance them, such as the Fishbowl (open, participatory, self-managed and methodical discussion/debate dynamics), the PechaKucha (short, informal and emotional exposition through the use of images) and the Bonfire (a small group of people who talk sitting in a circle, as if around a fire, sharing experiences).

ACTION POINTS

The power of the Summit:

  • The effort to get together in person—as at this Summit—is important. This allows us to reconnect as a movement and have a space for creativity and trust.
     

  • Summit attendees expressly highlighted in different spaces that they wish to remain in touch and asked for a directory to be made available.
     

  • The challenge is to remain connected. A proposal was made for each attendee to find five people to transform their relationship after the Summit.
     

  • Actively participate in conversations about migration and diversity to learn from other people’s experiences and share our own experiences.
     

  • Promote convening and reconvening with people from different cultures and migration experiences to enrich ourselves and better understand diversity.
     

  • Recognize the importance of each individual in the construction of a more inclusive and fair society, regardless of their origin or migration experience.
     

  • Recognize the importance of partnerships and movements that fight to protect the rights of migrants and look for ways to get together and work together.
     

  • Maintain astonishment and embodiment in our meetings, so that we do not lose the connection and sense of community that brings us together.
     

  • Acknowledge that there is still much to do, but that there are people and organizations already paving the way and that we are not alone in this struggle.
