A COLLECTIVE DYNAMICS, PRACTICAL, AND IN SOLIDARITY

Everyone can contribute with zero budget to this extension dynamics and benefit from it. The goal is that each person, wherever she is, can live the experience of participating in WSF activities and contribute to the collective construction of a better world. Organizations or collectives around the world can generate  "at home" and around them, dialogues within the WSF process, and make contact with others to develop change carrying  initiatives  from local to global. The extension dynamics is a tool for discovering  and "owning" the WSF process anywhere , in complement of greater events dialoguing and cooperating without borders, sharing our reasons for hope and action, and experience solidarity.
