When
Dialogues for the Progress of Humankind and the 1/ DPH and the Alliance : mutual fertilization "How
can the world be considered as a whole as well as from each of its Another
example can confirm such an appreciation. In January 2001, the Charles
Leopold Mayor Foundation participated in the World Social Forum of Porto
Alegre which was conceived as a determining rendez-vous in the fight
against globalisation - This event was successful considering its size
and coverage. Over 400 workshops were organised; this was a first of
its kind. In spite of this, apart from Latin America and NGOs, the rest
of the world Another example is that in 1994 in Paris, animators of networks, associated to DPH conceived what the thesaurus, a fundamental instrument helping to find one's way through the bank of experiences, would be. But this thesaurus had the deficiencies of its qualities: it was the exact photography of the present frontiers of DPH, therefore of its limitations if the world must be understood in all its complexity. The integration of the cartographic dimension (representation of the DHP thesaurus and the links it gives rise to) into the various workshops and colleges of the Alliance has today made it possible to change direction: the thesaurus has enriched itself with the diversity of subjects and actors from the Alliance, thereby giving DPH a new breath. 2/ Concerted actions DPH
and the Alliance have been meeting selectively together for two years.
* The Alliance has been organising its deliberations by thematic workshops and socioprofessional colleges. Each has the task of working out proposals and giving evidence of their viability in the prospect of the Lille 2001 encounter. A first selection in the DPH Bank enabled us to sort out about 1500 experiences which may illustrate each theme. You may view them at: /fr/documents DPH partners may locally help allies to produce such files. * A series of regional and continental meetings of the Alliance are being held before the Lille 2001 encounter. DPH is a concrete means for organising contributions from the allies and cartography, a new method for animating working groups. * Since June 2000, the DPH Bank has been accessible through the Internet (see www.webdph.net). This technical module is presently used by the Alliance to visualise files from workshops and colleges. A utility has just been developed which enables to draw up files on-line; it will be integrated into DPH in the months to come. * The experience of the electronic Forum UF/ACP (see http://www.ue-acp.org) has made it possible to learn a virtual and structural animation method for managing the participants' contributions. DPH may help the Alliance to successfully hold its various electronic fora (by workshop and college), by nourishing discussions with files and identifying contributions so that they may also be compiled as files. *
Lastly, a methodological articulation team was set up since May 2001
which involves members from DPH and the Alliance. Its purpose is to
provide seven (7) guidelines for the use of the various instruments
which will be selected by the allies from now till the Lille 2001 meeting.
As they are finalised, these guides are put on-line in the Participate
section of the Alliance website: Other initiatives of articulation are being worked out in Africa, Latin America or elsewhere. Some ideas circulated for that purpose in the DPH Forum. Why not propose yourself as a link in this articulation? Vladimir Ugarte (vladimir@fph.fr) and Véronique Rioufol (vrioufol@allliance21.org)
