The Third World Social Forum, Puerto Alegre, 23-28 January 2003
different world is possible
Saso Klekovski

What is a World Social Forum

The World Social Forum is an open space for meetings and reflections, democratic debate of ideas, formulation of proposals, free sharing of experiences and networking for efficient action of civil society groups and movements that oppose to the neo-liberalism and the world dominated by money and any form of imperialism, and are dedicated to building a planetary society directed towards fruitful relation between people and between people and the Earth. The WSF is a permanent process in search of building alternatives that cannot be reduced to the events that support them. WSF is a world process. WSF brings together and mutually relates not only the civil society organizations and movements from all countries in the world, but it does not tend to be a body that represents the world civil society. The WSF meetings are not WSF meetings as a body and therefore no one has a right to express attitudes, claiming that those are the attitudes of all participants. The attitudes declared by one group or by a group of organizations, WSF will distribute without censure or restriction as attitudes to that or those organizations.

Comment
Hand in hand
Several weeks ago, I was one of the participants from Macedonia at the "NGO Days" in Zagreb. Even before I had seen the manifestation, I was wondering what will it be like, will it be different from our NGO Fair "Forum of the Civil Society in Macedonia" that took place at the end of October last year, organized by the MCIC, OSIMF, ISC and CRS. We were together at this manifestation, and, from what we had seen, we could be proud to be better organizers.

Independently, more coordinately and more aim-oriented
During the society transformation into pluralistic democracy, at the beginning of the ‘90s, one of the heralds of the new system was the appearance of a large number of non-governmental organizations dealing with women issues. Together with the ones, which had been formed in any shape by the former system, this large number of new women non-governmental organizations created a good basis for eventually solving the issues of the women’s social status.
