Revision as of 12:32, 18 January 2007
At last... it's January, 2007 and it's another World Social Forum event. I was at the last World Social Forum even in Mali and now it's in Nairobi, Kenya. This time I am sure it's going to be much more colourful and more eventful than the last time in Mali, afterall we always want each WSF event to be better than the previous.
Also, the fact that the WSF organising committee has already released Final programme of the 4 days of conferences, meetings and workshops starting on Monday 21 January is really an achievement because with the previous ones they release the Final Program when events have already started! So, yes, this is a great improvement indeed.
Also, unlike other WSFs, this time there will be more of a conscious involvement from librarians... and that's the sole purpose behind this website.
By the way, who am I?
I am Kingsley Oghojafor, a Nigerian member of the Information for Social Change (ISC - http://www.libr.org/isc), based in the United Kingdom. I was at the last WSF in Mali where I, along with Mikael Book, Esther Obachi, Mary Wandohi and others vehemently talked about the need for the involvement of Librarians and Information professionals in the WSF events. We held our own special workshops and participated in several others where we talked passionately about this.
Thankfully, just one year after, our dreams are now being achieved in the WSF. This year, there will now be a lot more involvement of Librarians and Information Profesionals in the WSF.
