The "South Face" is a service provided by South Centre to provide space to voices and opinions of the South on global issues. To achieve this objective, "South Face" covers events (workshops and seminars) organized by South Centre or co-organized in partnership with other organizations by providing photographs of speakers along with sound bytes from their presentation.

The "South Face" is distributed to the participants as well as to the media at the end of the seminar or at the start of the seminar on the next day and provides a quick reflection of the deliberations that took place. Select presentations made during the seminar are also made available at the South Centre Digital TV. http://www.SouthCentre.org
