The last workshop was titled "World Democratic Confederalism". Kongra Star member Rûxweş Şêxo and Nazma Akter, President of the Textile Workers' Union of Bangladesh and founder of the Awaj Foundation, made a presentation.

Rûxweş Şêxo summarized the development of the revolution in Rojava, underlining the role of Kurdish People's Leader Abdullah Öcalan, and said that people from all over the world came to Rojava and worked in communes, but could not establish a network after returning to their countries.

Nazma Akter said: “Big companies have the power to change the world. But they do whatever their own interests require. We, in Bangladesh, organized textile workers and we continue to struggle."
