metapolis is an initiative by Common Action Forum. A collective effort of CAF’s team, members, collaborators and participants. Our goal is to develop and support a progressive agenda as alternative to the current model that has led us to a world of increasing inequalities, environmental devastation and unaccomplished freedom for most of the global citizenry.
metapolis Vol.2_ Nº 1
The New Social Contract of the XXI century (NSC)
The New Social Contract for the 21st Century, a project by Maysoun Douas in collaboration with the Common Action Forum, discusses the conflicts of a continually changing present. In this first series, we have focused on democratic processes, bringing together important actors from our political and social scene. Manuela Carmena, Fernando Mayor Zaragoza, Ana Sáenz De Miera, José María Lassalle and Andrés Ordóñez reflect on the political landscape and how citizens can shape or already are enacting change.
OCTAGON 2021 – Program
HOTEL WELLINGTON
Saturday, 20.11.2021 | 10:00 hs – 18:00 hs

A new initiative by the Common Action Forum to analyze the most pressing global issues. Every month, a new episode of CAF Podcast will be available.
Arlene Clemesha – CAF Podcast ep.3/2021
Ayo Obe – CAF Podcast ep.2/2021
Wadah Khanfar – CAF Podcast ep.1/2021
Each year, CAF holds a major public forum, gathering experts and relevant actors to engage in a series of debates that can give fruit to further progressive initiatives that move its mission forward. Problems such as poverty, which affects half of humanity, or global warming, which affects us all, are just part of a dystopian reality that no longer allows us to give ourselves the luxury of thinking about local utopias.
OCTAGON is an event designed to serve as CAF’s yearly official gathering. Each November, all formal members have the opportunity to meet in Madrid, debate specific topics in round-table sessions and participate in the planning of institutional activities. Apart from the public opening, the rest of the program remains closed session for invited guests.
Our goal…
Our goal is to establish and encourage global platforms of cooperation, research and advisory in order do implement alternative solutions for social progress and cosmopolitan citizenship.
