 Information
for the Next World Social Forum
Porto Alegre, 23-28 January, 2003
c) Alliance Facilitators in the Panel Debates, the Round Tables,
the Seminars and the Workshops
Although final lists of participants in the activities
organized by the Brazilian Committee and the International Council
are not yet available, we can say at this time that several facilitators
of the Workshops of the Alliance for a Responsible, Plural and
United World will participate in the Panel Debates and the Dialogue
and Controversy Round Tables.
These facilitators are:
* The Socio-economy of Solidarity Workgroup, in
the panel on “Economy of solidarity,” under Thematic
Area I: Democratic Sustainable Development
* The Artists in Alliance Network (facilitated
by Hamilton Faria - Sao Paulo - and Pedro Garcia - Rio de Janeiro),
under the same theme, in a panel called “Actors in the Cities”
* Larbi Bouguerra (Tunisia), under Thematic Area
II, Principles and Values, Human Rights, Diversity and Equality,
in a panel debate on “The Right of Access to Water, Food,
and the Land”
* Valérie Peugeot (France), under Thematic
Area III: Media, Culture, and Counter-hegemony, in a panel debate
on “New Technologies and Strategies of Inclusion and Social
Change.”
* Makarand Paranjape (India), under the same
theme, in a panel on the “Production of Symbols and the
Identity of Peoples.”
There are no facilitators in the panels of Thematic
Area IV, Political Power, Civil Society and Democracy, and V,
Democratic World Order, Fight against Militarism and Promoting
Peace.
Two of the four Dialogue and Controversy Round
Tables corresponding to these
last two themes will, however, have present:
* Pierre Calame (France), at the Table on the
topic, “What kind of globalization and how should the world
be governed?” Other persons present will be Juan Somavia
of the ILO and Guillano Amato of the European Parliament.
* Nadia Aïssaoui (Algeria-Lebanon) and Norma
Enriquez (Colombia), at the Table on the topic, “In opposition
to the 21st century wars, how do we build peace among people?”
Also present, will be Mary Robinson and José Mauricio Bustani
(former Secretary-General of the Organization for the Prohibition
of Chemical Weapons).
To this, we can add the organization of several
seminars and workshops by various groups of Allies at the PUC
and the Youth Camp.
The Brazilian Allies are especially active in
the WSF Cultural Group and will organize a number of activities,
the Drums
of Peace among them, in Porto Alegre.
This participation at the PUC, at the Gigantinho
Stadium, and on the river banks will be very important to show
the greatest possible diversity and to build bridges (or run shuttles)
between different kinds of public.
For example, the economy of solidarity networks
are preparing, with the organizers of the Youth Forum, the installation,
in the very midst of the Youth Camp, of an economy of solidarity
center, a place with products and trading systems for material
and immaterial assets.
