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