Mr. Hirsch will elaborate on the emergence and development of a strong Latin American socio-political movement that is progressively gaining massive popular adherence and the challenges that such a
movement confronts in terms of both the prevailing status quo in countries such as Bolivia, Ecuador and Venezuela, and the goals of social justice and full-fledged democratization it pursues. For his
presentation, Hirsch will draw from the recent political experience of several Latin American countries, including his own, and the innovative political role that young people and their leaders are playing in the reformulation of the ways Latin American politics done.
