Network of Asian Social Democrats

Elements of Social Democracy are discussed by different actors in the Sri Lankan society and are accepted as need to be rooted in the political framework, customs, laws, religions in the re-established state of Sri Lanka. The imagination of the Sri Lankan society is reawakened through examples of social democracy from Germany.  The exhibition, depicting the evolution of  the German Social Democratic Party, hopes to rekindle ideas and aspirations for change through collective action of all actors in Sri Lankan society.

The Exhibition entitled “For Freedom and Social Justice” was successfully launched by the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) Manila on 23 May 2009, at the Discovery Suites, Ortigas Center, Pasig City.

Invited guests were able to view the 32 panels which chronicle the history of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) of Germany, from its inception in mid-19th century, until the formulation of its most recent programme in Hamburg in 2007. The launch was even made special with the presence of two distinguished guests, Mr. Wolf Preuss and Prof. RAndy David, who gave their reflections on the realities and potentials of membership-based and program–based political parties both in Germany and the Philippines. An open discussion followed, which was moderated by renowned columnist and TV host Manuel Quezon III.
