¿Te apuntas?

Junio y julio en Salamanca, agosto en París... ¿cómo? ¿septiembre?

No os podéis ni imaginar la que se va a montar en septiembre.

La que estamos montando en septiembre, ejem.

During five days there will be workshops, seminars, debates, manifestations, films, music, art, culture, activism and demonstrations – and a lot of room for strategic thinking and alliance building.

From September 17th to 21st 2008 the European Social Forum (ESF) is being held in Malmö, in the South of Sweden! More than 20 000 people are expected to participate in the forum, which is a meeting place for social movements in Europe.

- Cultural activities for another Europe

The European Social Forum (ESF) is by far the largest European space for organisations, movements, networks and individuals engaged in building a more sustainable, democratic and equitable society.
Tens of thousands of activists and a broad range of organisations come together to share experiences, debate ideas – and not the least to formulate proposals and to build new alliances for mobilisation and effective action. ESF is about changing – not merely to contemplate the situation of today.
Among the participants are trade unions, migration networks, environmental organisations, feminist organisations, the global justice movement, peace networks, human rights organisations, academics, youth organisations – and many more.

* Are you an organization involved in cultural activities and wanting to organize an activity at the ESF? Then please contact us at kultur@esf2008.org and describe who you are and what you want to do. We will then get back to you with more information.

* Are you an artist/poet etc. willing to perform at the ESF, or a director of a relevant documentary willing to come and show it at the ESF? Then please contact us at kultur@esf2008.org and describe who you are and what you want to do. We will then get back to you with more information.

And, last but not least...

Interpretation is a crucial task for an international forum, and to make the debate as diverse as possible. Everyone should have the possibility to take part and contribute to the discussion on global justice on equal terms, even if you speak a minority language or a non-colonial language.

Around 600 interpreters are needed during the ESF in Malmö. The interpretation will be arranged with the support of the Babels network that was formed in the preparations for the first ESF in Florence 2002, and now we are developing the Nordic branch of the network.

Besitos.

Que os he echado de menos, además. Sois mi inspiración ;-)
