The World Decolonization Forum, originally annpounced as Decolonization Forum, organized by Institute Social and partners, aims to connect multiple knowledge traditions, foster cross-cultural and interdisciplinary exchanges, avoid reductionist dichotomies, and create new possibilities for dialogue, critical thought, and collective production. Within this framework, the forum serves not only as a space for academic discussion but also as a meeting ground where experiences from different geographies can be shared and new collaborations can emerge.
