European Social Forum suggested Programme

Seminars and workshops so far proposed

Dear friends, I am sending you, this time only in english, the first results of what we discussed in Bruxelles in three groups, about seminars. The main objectives of this work are: to reduce the number of seminars, because we don't have enough space in the Fortress, to push the networks or groups proposing similar seminars to work together, so that the ESF can be a real moment of "building the movement,with bodies and brains"!

Now the list is about 117 seminars + the ones that we saw after Brussels meeting.

As we agreed in Brussels, the mergers are only proposals that the different groups/associations can accept or not. In case of refusing, and specially in case when the refuse comes from a single proponent, the seminar should become a workshop, that will take place in a space in Florence, out of the Fortress and with no equipment for simultaneous interpretation.Translations have to be provided by the proponents in a consecutive way, or have only one language.

There are already more than 150 workshops.

It is quite possible that you will find in these new lists some mistake or some missing proposal, due to the fact that many proposals arrived on the 6th and 7th of september and some of them were already put on the table in Brussels, and some not.

Of course we ask you to be patient and not get angry: all of us try to do their best! On the contrary, help us sending immediately your remarks.

I remind to all of you that the dead line decided in Brussels for the answers about mergers was the 17th: with Salvatore we decided to pospone to 19th, because we are late in sending the lists. On the 22 we will bring the third list, after your answers and remarks.Please, tell us also if anybody decide to cancel their proposal/s.
In case we don't receive any remark, the list will be kept as it is.

Send your messages to the following address
[email protected]

Follows the lists of 1 and 2 Areas. The third will arrive immediatly after
