History
The Humanist Forum was launched in Moscow in 1993 by proponents of New or Universalist Humanism, a current of thought inspired by the ideas, writings, and actions of Silo (Mario Rodriguez Cobos). Since then, countless local forums have taken place around the world, and more recently, the first Humanist Regional Forums have been organized (Africa 2006, Europe 2006, Latin America 2006, Asia 2007, and Central America/Caribbean 2007).
