Consulta pública dos eixos de 2011
Consulta pública de los ejes para 2011
The International Council of the World Social Forum and the African Social Forum and the Senegalese Organizing Committee launch a public consultation until September 10th to finalize the thematic axes of the centralized edition of the WSF, to be held in Dakar, Senegal, on February 06-11 2011. This methodological proposal was defined after Mumbai (Maharashtra, India), five years ago. Its main goals are to give a structure to the physical space of the WSF, in relation to the distribution of the self-organized activities, and contribute to facilitate the communication between organizations, networks and movements, groups and campaigns participating in the WSF process, reaching greater convergence and articulation between them.
This consultation moment was therefore prepared after the three structuring strategic axes of the 2011 event:
1)To strengthen the offensive capacity against neoliberal capitalism and its instruments;
2)To deepen struggles and resistances against capitalism, imperialism and oppression;
3)To propose democratic and people’s alternatives
The Dakar Social Forum proposes 11 thematic axes taking into account the current international context and the context of the movements’ organized struggles and of themes related to Africa. The organizers proposes:
1.For a human society founded on common principles and values of dignity, diversity, justice, equality between all human beings, regardless of genders, cultures, age, disabilities, religious beliefs, health status, and for the elimination of all forms of oppression and discrimination based on racism, xenophobia, caste system, sexual orientation and others.
2.For environmental justice, for universal and sustainable access of humanity to the common goods, for the preservation of the planet as source of life, especially land, water, forests, renewable energy sources and biodiversity, guaranteeing the rights of indigenous, traditional, native, autochthonous and original peoples, their territories, resources, languages, cultures, identities and knowledge.
3.For the applicability and effectivity of all human rights – economic, social, cultural, environmental, civil and political rights – particularly the rights to land, food sovereignty, food, social protection, health, education, housing, employment, decent work, communication, cultural and political expression.
4.For the freedom of movement and establishment of all, especially migrants and asylum-seekers, trafficked people, refugees, indigenous, original, native, autochthonous and original peoples, minorities, people under occupation and people in situations of war and conflict, and for the respect of their civil, political, economic, social, cultural and environmental rights.
5.For the inalienable right of people to the cultural patrimony of humanity, for the democratization of knowledges, cultures, communication and technologies, valuing the common goods, for visibilizing subjugated knowledges, towards the ending of hegemonic knowledge and of the privatization of knowledge and technologies, fundamentally changing the system of intellectual property rights.
6.For a world freed from the values and structures of capitalism, of patriarchal oppression, of all forms of domination from financial powers, transnational corporations and unequal systems of trade, colonial and debt domination.
7.For the construction of a social, solidary and emancipatory economy, with sustainable patterns of production and consumption and with a system of fair trade, putting at the heart of its priorities the fundamental needs of peoples and the respect for nature, ensuring systems of global redistribution with global taxes and without tax havens.
8.For the construction and expansion of democratic, political, economic structures and institutions, at a local, national and international level, with the participation of the people in decision-making and in the control of public affairs and of resources, respecting people’s diversity and dignity.
9.For the construction of a global order based on peace, justice and human security, the rule of law, ethics, sovereignty and self-determination of peoples, condemning economic sanctions and in favor of international rules for the arms trade.
10.For the valuing of the histories and the struggles of Africa and the diaspora and their contribution to humanity, recognizing the violence of colonialism.
11.For collective reflection on our movements, the World Social Forum process itself and our perspectives for the future
The registration and the agglutination of self-determination activities will start after this consultation.

Les derniers forums sociaux européens ont vu émerger un axe de travail porté par des mouvements pédagogiques et qui pourrait s’intituler : pratiques de parole et d’écriture au sein des Forums et du Mouvement social en général, pour le développement d’une autre démocratie du savoir et de l’action.
C’est à partir des expériences interpellantes de Malmö : séminaire co-organisé par plusieurs mouvements d’éducation «Learning to change the world» et d’Istanbul «Knowledge and emancipation» (réseau Education) et «Learning to be together» (réseaux éducation et migrants) que le projet s’est formulé. il s’agit de travailler à des pratiques alternatives aux formes traditionnelles de conférences, débats, tables rondes d’experts et prenant en compte les savoirs et les expériences de tous dans une dynamique de production collective des savoirs nécessaires et possibles.
J’ai personnellement recueilli une page d’adresses de personnes préoccupées par cette question.
Je propose qu’un groupe de travail au sein des assemblées préparatoires soit investi de la tâche de faire des propositions méthodologiques dans ce sens (axe 11 ?)
