> Traveling Seminar on Corporate Social Responsibility
August 12-18, 2001 Sao Paulo and Recife, Brazil.
Nowadays, firms are facing the challenge to define or redefine their role in the light of a Latin American context with mounting poverty, inequity, and obstacles that hinder the exercise of a more egalitarian democracy. For this reason, it has been considered the need of meeting the key actors in the development of Corporate Social Responsibility in Latin America with the aim to reflect on the current situation and on future courses of action.
The traveling seminars constitute a unique educational opportunity for participants as they promote:
- The development of leadership in the area: through the support of the participants’ personal practices and experiences.
- Learning: the presentation of philanthropic activities and institutions, volunteerism, or corporate social responsibility in other countries promotes a reflection about personal experiences and a deep interchange about other visions and organizational models. It also facilitates an environment and time to analyze and discuss core issues that define the area.
- Critical mass: the seminars make it possible to develop horizontal networks between the participants, thus contributing to the creation of informal groups that can explore the importance of corporate social responsibility to strengthen an active citizenry that faces the commitment to the development of the community and to the full exercise of democracy.
- Education and information: the traveling seminar is also a tool with which the Latin American participants can present their institutions and programs to visiting institutions. This opens the door to multiple interchange and the development of joint efforts following each seminar.
