Frontiers Foundation Executive Director Marco A. Guzman was invited to attend the CIVICUS 6th world assembly held in Glasgow, Scotland on June 21 – 25, 2006. The international event took place at Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre and Armadillo Building on the shores of Clyde River. There was a significant focus on the role of civil society in the global efforts to secure social, economic and civic justice.

Marco took part in a joint presentation with two Maori people from New Zealand on ‘Indigenous people in the quest for social justice’ interactive workshop. He had the chance to highlight the need of decent and safe homes in Canada, particularly amongst the Aboriginal peoples, and the campaign to address extreme poverty should also look at addressing extreme wealth.
