Hello,
I'm Nori I live in Montreal, Quebec and I am in Occupy Montreal.
We are a small group (Marwen, Khaled and me) who are interested in encouraging activities and circle discussed outside the Forum, in order to be able to reach Tunisian social movements that won't necessarily be inside the the Forum.
Occupy Montreal this summer did five neighbourhood occupations. I believe that the most beautiful things that came out this occupations,
is that they provided an opportunity for participants to make their own projects and realize that they could have an impact on their environment,
that their actions could influence the course of things.
This occupations allowed the people in the neighbourhood to meet and build relationships.
Of course this are impacts in a small scale if this change are small scale, but I still get news of the work from this new groups who have formed in the summer.
In Tunisia, if we make these activities outside the Forum, we believe that the appropriation by Tunisians of this project, so people can also realize that they can have an impact on their environment.
This is why is so importing get in touch with Tunisians.
Khaled who is Tunisian, knows several social movement that were created after the revolution.
Marwen who is also Tunisian just made a 5 month internship in Tunisia on the FSM, and he realizes that the organizers of the WSF
are not really in contact with people who have been very active in the uprising.
With our group, we thought at the beginning, to a encourage a camp outside the Forum. The place that had been proposed to do so, was the Belvedere Park,
but as time goes by and we do not know what will be the level of participation of Tunisians in this project,
we begin to think of encouraging day occupations, suited to the interests of Tunisians.
Khaled start contacting activist groups in Tunisia to inform them of the project and Marwen is arriving there in a few days.
Therefore, Marwen will be able to meet the group that Khaled and him will contact.
We would be very interested in working with others on this project. What do you think?
Carminda said we could start discus about thin on the site? It would be interesting to make a group about this action to be made outside the Forum. Can you help me to start one? I do not know how to do it.
sorry for my english I will do my best to communicate with you.
Thanks
Nori
See you soon
Nori
