The Community

For Human Development

Background

The Community (for Human Development) is an organism that is part of the Humanist Movement. The Movement first appeared on the 4th of May 1969, with a public presentation by its founder, Silo, known as "The Healing of Suffering", in Punta de Vacas, near the border between Argentina and Chile.

The Humanist Movement is based on the current of thought known as New Humanism or Universalist Humanism. This philosophy is expressed in the works of Silo and many other authors inspired by him.

It represents not only a philosophy but also a way of life, promoting Human Development through Active Nonviolence, personal transformation, and social change.

Different organizations born from the Humanist Movement include the Convergence of Cultures, the Humanist Party, World without Wars and without Violence, and the World Center of Humanist Studies.

The Community (for Human Development) was founded in the mid-1980s as the social and cultural organization of the Humanist Movement.
