World Social Forum and OS

[Artur F. Silva]

Dear all:

A World Social Forum (Forum Social Mundial) will take
place in Porto Alegre, state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brasil,
from 25-30, January 2001.

NGOs, social movements and individual participants are
expected from all over the world, but especially from
South America and Africa.

The forum will have plenary sessions in the mornings
and many simultaneous workshops in the afternoons.
The workshops may be proposed by any collective or
individual participant.

Wouldn't you think that this event could be a great opportunity
to open the space there for people from the South that
can make a good use of it? This would facilitate the "move to
the South" that many of us would like to happen. Is anyone
over there interest in doing that?

To know more about and eventually subscribe see the
English (ingles...) version of the site at:

The main themes of the Conference are the following:

THEME I: The Production of Wealth
THEME II: Access to Wealth and Sustainability
THEME III: Civil Society and the Public Arena
THEME IV: Democracy and Citizen's Power


Regards

Artur
