Hello dear Alternaute

Want to get involved as a volunteer / volunteer as  the WSF 2016 event draws near, you have completed the Alternaut form on the WSF 2016 webiste  and that is why we, Extension  Support team WSF 2016,  can  write to you.

Living in Montreal and its region, or not,  Thinking to be in Montreal in August, or not ...

Here is a concrete proposal for volunteer action in WSF 2016, with many interpersonal relationship dimensions and communication via internet: integrate  WSF 2016 Extension Support Team

Extension dynamics  proposed around the world and throughout the year 2016, around the WSF event in August in Montreal, is about practicing various ways to actively participate in FSM2016 process, from where one lives and acts "for another world ", beyond economic barriers (cost and time of travel), and political boundaries (visa restriction)

It is presented here: https://fsm2016.org/participer/hors-montreal/

This dynamic is taking shape, with more than 50 activities, located in 25 countries since early 2016  placed in the dynamics by dozens of organizations considering themselves to be  participants in the WSF process, and 1,000 people in 60 countries in welcome circles or in chat rooms associated with those 50 activities.

Here is the list of these activities, listed chronologically  by month

Since early April, these activities "out of World Social Territory) can also be entered in the fsm2016 site, as well as those taking place during the WSF event  in August in Montreal.
