Introduction

The Civicus World Assembly is a forum for international civil society representatives to get together, exchange ideas, experiences and build strategies for a just world. The theme for the three upcoming annual world assemblies, all to be held in Glasgow, is “Acting Together for a Just World”.

Description

Civicus is an international alliance established in 1993 to nurture the foundation, growth and protection of citizen action throughout the world, especially in areas where participatory democracy and citizens' freedom of association are threatened.

Civicus aims to contribute towards a healthy global society that:

recognises citizen intervention as a vital aspect of political, economic and cultural life
enables citizen bodies to interact openly and legitimately with government and business
strikes a fair balance in the relationship between a society’s citizens and its businesses and government
