The annual Latin America Conference has become one of the most successful events of its kind in the UK. Since December 2005, thousands of delegates from across the country have come to hear speakers from more than 30 countries discuss and share experiences of developments in Latin America and the Caribbean.
The Latin America Conference provides a fascinating insight into the reality of the region through a mixture of talks, seminars, works and films. It provides the opportunity to hear from academics, experts and specialists as well as effective ways for people in the UK to support progressive struggles and movements in Latin America by getting involved with solidarity work in the UK.
UK contributors have included Harold Pinter, Tariq Ali and Tony Benn. From Europe, the US and the region itself, trade union and social movement leaders, writers, artists, politicians, campaigners, film directors, diplomats and academics have all shared platforms. Most importantly, delegates have heard first-hand from the peoples of Latin America; of their struggle to free themselves from the hegemony of US domination; their battle to gain control of national resources; and their fight to defend their gains and achievements.
From Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Brazil and Colombia, the people of the region are finding their voice, realising their power and determining their own futures.
Latin America 2011 will take place on Saturday 3rd December in London. Full event details are here and you can buy tickets here.
