> Dear all,
>
> as you already know, 7- 8th of June, Alter Summit will take place in Athens. You already have received the call from the Greek Organizing Committee that explains reasons, goals and expectations of the Greek movement about the Summit.
>
> Taking this opportunity and after some discussions, Diktio and DinamoPress decided to do a workshop-seminar in the same place where Alter Summit will take place (Oaka stadium) on Saturday 8th of June. It is not an Alter Summit’s workshop but something simultaneous.
>
> We believe that this is fundamental to meet because we feel the compelling necessity to build up connections at the european level, talking about the different movements and their political practices and the common struggles we should organize together, starting from already existent experiences. A possible title of the workshop could be “crisis, movements and alternative strategies”, where we'd like to discuss some issues and problems:
>
> 1. Rethinking the european space inside the crisis, where internal migration is reshaping a new geography and shifting borders, and south-european countries are facing the imposition of a hierarchization process. How movements can connect their experiences of self-organizing and social solidarity inside this changed space? How can we create successful struggles against the policies of the memoranda (“adjustment programs”)?
>
> 2. We need to understand the relation between political parties and movements to create the conditions for the co-ordination of struggles and to question the representative system and the failure of any reformist politics in Europe lead by the leftwing parties. How can we create a path towards an anticapitalistic transition able to challenge democracy?
>
> 3. The economic crisis lead to a social classes polarization, the return to patriotic and nationalistic attitudes and intensification of racist violence against immigrants, refugees, precarious, unemployed etc. How do we find a common answer and create a solidarity network?
>
> We strongly invite you to discuss about it these days and Blockupy could be the best place for communication about this workshop. Please let us know what do you think about it, giving suggestions and feedback!
>
> Looking forward to meeting you very soon!
