A series of virtual conversations to analyze Venezuelan reality beyond the headlines.

Alianza Americas is organizing Venezuela: Elements for Understanding the Country, a series of four virtual conversations that offers a rigorous, contextualized, and balanced analysis of Venezuela's social, economic, and political transformations.

From the collapse of the oil-based democracy model to the consolidation of the Bolivarian project, and from the daily lives of families to the power structures that permeate the social fabric, this series seeks to answer a central question: How do the Venezuelan people live, work, and survive today?

Throughout four thematic sessions, experts will analyze:

• The historical roots of the Venezuelan crisis.
• The real impact of the oil economy on families.
• Living conditions, wages, services, and survival strategies.
• The role of collectives and their presence in communities and institutions.

The sessions will be held via Zoom, will last one hour, and will include simultaneous interpretation. Registered participants can submit their questions in advance.
