2008 Mobilisation
From KLAMediaWiki
Proposal for 2008 mobilisation
- IC meeting working group
- Nairobi, IC meeting January 26 to 27, 2007
1) The WSF process will be characterised in 2008 by a Global Day of Mobilisation, which will consist in a decentralized set of simultaneous activities conducted regionally and/or locally all over the world. The specific format (including the number of days) and slogan for these activities will be decided by those who organize these activities with one common day of global impact and visibility reinforced by common communication strategy and tools. These activities should help expand and deepen the WSF process.
2) The overarching slogan will be Another World is Possible/Under Construction – to be decided at the next IC meeting. The specific themes will be chosen by all the forums, networks and organisations and would be in continuity with the 2007 Nairobi WSF discussions, particularly the outcomes of the fourth day (plans of action and campaigns) and other issues that are important in global, regional, national or local areas. However, specific themes and activities selected should be such that all sectors and sections can participate. Dynamics and activities should be open, inclusive and plural, in the spirit of the World Social Forum process, and have to be in accordance with the World Social Forum Charter of Principles.
3) We propose that the Parma IC decision to have the dates of the activities for WSF 2008 around the Davos dates remains unchanged and the global day of action/visibility be January 26th/27th.
4) The working group set up in Parma remains open to any IC member interested in participating. It will be committed to spread up information about the Global Day of Mobilization, to involve in the process as much as possible all the actors, movements, networks and organizations working for another world, and to share ideas. It’s responsibility of the IC working group to produce a draft plan before the next IC meeting to be discussed and approved by the IC.
