Asia Pacific Social Forum (APSF) is a continuing process of social movement and civil society in Asia Pacific which was re-started in 2021 prior to the World Social Forum in Mexico the same year. APSF was an instrumental driving force toward the World Social Forum in Kathmandu, Nepal in February 2024. Through series of meetings, debates, seminars and discussions, the meeting convened at October 14 Memorial Hall in Bangkok and later at Burapha University, Bangsaen, Thailand in late August and early September 2024 resolved to proceed with the physical events of APSF 2025 to be held in Thailand.
Finally, the broad meeting of APSF in January resolved to hold the APSF 2025 from 1-5 November 2025 in Bangkok. Since time for preparation and the financial are quite limited, we are trying our best to make sure the successful events towards a stronger social movement in the region.
This time, APSF together with other CSO partners, Civicus and Asia Democracy Network (ADN) are organizing the event at the same time and place at Thammasat University in Bangkok. Thammasat University is a key principal partner of this historical event.
