World social forum in Cotonou

4 to 8 August in Benin

In August 2026, the next World Social Forum (WSF) will take place in Cotonou in West Africa. Several migration-related networks, which are active or even based in Africa, have started to organize their collective participation. Finally a delegation with about 60 activists – for example from Alarm Phone Sahara, Boza Fii, Refugees in Libya and WatchTheMed Alarm Phone – will try to intervene in the frame of this big transnational event for their common demand for freedom of movement.
