The “Seminar of Anti-imperialist Youth in Struggle and for Solidarity” will be held on Saturday 20, starting at 9:00 in the morning.

The World Gathering for a Social Alternative, which will be broadcasted on all ALBA-TCP networks, is fundamental to design strategies to counter the new forms of imperialist intervention by the United States, which is intensifying its sanctions against Venezuela.

The purpose of these sessions is to propose an agenda of concrete actions that the peoples could implement to face imperialism and its unsustainable economic and social model, and thus find common ground that could lead to collective solutions to the real problems of the peoples and to the construction of a new civilizing model.
