In the face of the challenges that have emerged and been exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic, collective responses by and for communities have emerged in Latin America (e.g. community food banks and open data citizen-led initiatives). In view of this development, the research group Democratic Reconfigurations of the Institute for Advanced Sustainability Studies (IASS) Potsdam has decided to convene a Cabildo por América Latina (CabildoxLatAm), a participatory digital space to learn, strengthen and design collective responses to the pandemic. The event will bring together civil society actors, governments, communities and citizens from Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Mexico, Peru, and Puerto Rico.
