World Social Forum 2002
Jan 26-Feb 7. World Social Forum 2002 : "Another World is
Possible!"
In an era where corporate globalization is presented as
an inevitability, where the occidental vision of individualism
increasingly pervades most governments and undermines traditional
cultures, thousands of progressive thinkers and activists from
around the world will meet in Porto Alegre, Brazil, to challenge
the consensus of neoliberalism and to celebrate an alternative view
of democracy and development. The World Social Forum, first held in
2001, was developed as a counterpoint to the World Economic Forum
held annually in Davos, Switzerland. The aim was to map out
alternative paths through workshops, debates and
"conference-testimonies" at the very time when those who were
pushing the world still further towards commodification and the
domination of capital were meeting in Davos.
