Global crises cross network space to discuss alternatives

A substantial number of global and regional civil society networks and social movements are inviting during the World Social Forum in Belem/Brazil to two Cross Networking spaces to discuss Alternatives and joint strategies for change. These two spaces are working spaces that are open to interested networks and social movements and are considered a starting point to explore themes and strategies across networks that help to build synergies to face the global crises.

PART 1 / Friday, 30 January, 15h30-18h30
Global Crises: Cross Network Space to Discuss Alternatives

A cross network space to develop to share and develop joint alternatives and demands of social movements as a response to the global crises: food, climate, finance, labor/social, water, etc.

PART 2 / Friday, 30 January, 18h30-20h00
Global Crises: Cross Network Space to Discuss Joint Strategies

A cross network space to share strategies of mobilization towards change. Networks will share their proposals developed in their own networks, including moments of actions for 2009 – 2010.
