The Common Action Forum's mission is to establish and encourage independent platforms of cooperation, research, innovation and advisory in order to shape alternative solutions and empower global citizens to address current issues, such as the increase in economic inequalities, the impact of technology and environmental challenges. Each year, CAF holds two annual forums (CAF Forum and the OCTAGON) convening experts and activists, which then leads to output and further collaboration. We have several research clusters that provide content as well as synthesize research following these gatherings.
We have several ongoing projects and partnerships. The Common Action Tribunal, our ethics tribunal, is a symbolic body composed of lawyer and jurists that issue advisories (this year, the theme of the cases was lawfare). SYMUN, a model united nations program with high school students in Spain and internationally, is another program, as well as a partnership with the Spanish State Science Association Institute for MENA Languages and Cultures. Further projects include Refugees Map, liQen, the School of Transnational Activism, and various other initiatives that I would be happy to provide more information on if that would be useful.
We can offer access to a range of international experts and actors; we have strong ties with academics and foreign leadrs and diplomats in South America, as well as with the Al Jazeera network in MENA and advocacy organizations within Mexico.
We are currently in the process of growing our organization and expanding our work, as we are take on more research activities in order to provide policy advice to goverments, and hope to network with other organizations that share our values and can help us advance in this way.
