The Organization will present the results, obtained in March, during the 7th Solidary Society Network Multi-Stakeholder Forum – 4th Innovation Fair promoted by the LGW in five Latin American countries. These events counted with the participation of several segments of society, such as organizations from civil society, government organs, representatives of universities and companies. The report from the Legion of Good Will, translated by the UN into its six official languages (Arabic, Chinese, Spanish, French, English, and Russian) and recommended by this organ, includes proposals and recommendations from the participants (identified according to their practical experience), as well as an innovative social technology employed by the LGW.

SOLIDARY SOCIETY NETWORK
Articulated by the LGW, it aims to bring together all the works developed by organizations from various sectors under the flag of Solidarity, beginning with actions that involve joint and cooperative efforts from governments, socially responsible companies and civil society. The network operates in regionalized spheres in order to allow the inclusion of local communities in the sustainable socioeconomic development. To this end it promotes meetings and relationships among several social actors, besides motivating joint and collaborative actions on behalf of common and wider causes.
