KINDLY CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITY OF DISSEMINATING THIS MESSAGE IN YOUR COUNTRY ON WSF RELATED LISTS

Dear WSF process participants,

As you know South Asia Social Forum event is going to be held in Dhaka, Bangladesh from 18-22 november,2011. In the World Social Forum Process, an idea of extended activities during the social forum events was developed in International Council.

www.wsfsouthasiabd.org

In line with the SASF 2011 process, the SASF extended working group is playing an active role to extend to concept of the social forum beyond the venue of Dhaka University towards South Asia and the world.

(See the “registration” green pad on the home page of the  SASF web site and the extended invitation link there)

It is suggested to the organizations of your country who are participating in Dhaka to organize, with other organizations that cannot come to Dhaka, a series of extended SASF activities in several cities, during 18-22 November, at very low cost, using organizations premises and IT equipments, while hundreds of activities will be happening in Dhaka university premises.

 

1 WHAT KIND OF EXTENDED SASF ACTIVITIES CAN BE ORGANIZED LOCALLY?

 

from now up to 15 November, maybe in 10 or more local places in your country, using primarily the premises of WSF supporting organizations,  groups of activists can define a local agenda for 20-50 + people sessions/activities held during 18-22 November in the name of one or more local organizations, and combining during those days several types of session, in parallel, and or sequenced over several days.

-local FACE TO FACE MEETINGS on agreed topics ( declared as local activity on the SASF website see case 3 in annex below),

-local “BROWSING SASF SITE” session  commenting the list and description forms of organizations present in Dhaka and their activities held in Dhaka, and in SASF at large ( declared as local activity on the SASF website see case 3 in annex below),

-local REMOTE PARTICIPATION session to activities in Dhaka that will be enlarged /broadcasted on internet ( declared as local activity on the SASF website see case 5 in annex below),

-local DISTANCE ENCOUNTERS videochat session with fellows that are in Dhaka ( declared as distance encounter activities on the SASF website see case 4 below) .

See the registered activities here  http://www.wsfsouthasiabd.org/register/index.php/view_list  

All this can bring opportunities of good sharing and participatory moments and result in much more "owned" SASF process by many activists in your country.

 

2 WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS FROM LOCALLY ORGANIZING SASF EXTENDED ACTIVITIES?

 

extended-logo-composite-english.jpg   It is a very useful way for who are not going to the SASF 2011 to:

- make SASF accessible as really as possible to a LARGE NUMBER of social activists that are not among those going to Dhaka,

. “PRODUCE AND OWN WSF process in a “self organized” and local way, organizing local sessions thanks to the co operations made possible between local activists from various organizations, based on their common reference to social forum,

 - show SOLIDARITY with WSF process around the world, as many friends from Europe, Latin America, and Arab and from Africa register their extended events while the SASF 2011 will be happen.

 

3 WHO CAN ORGANIZE THESE LOCAL SESSIONS?

 

Some local SASF EXTENDED INITIATIVE teams can take shape, in a decentralized manner,  among those interested by WSF process in your country, mixing those who do to Dhaka and those, much more numerous, who do not go –

Together, they can to organize sessions as explained in part 2 above, in several cities of the country.DELEGATES going to Dhaka CAN HELP THOSE WHO ORGANIZE LOCALLY IN THREE WAYS :

 -by sharing the local organizing work before travelling to Dhaka  ( see case 3 4 5 in annex below) and helping to train on the IT tools necessary for case 4 and 5 (chat on skype.com and video stream on livestream.com, ustream.tv ),

- by making sure the activities they will participate in Dhaka are “enlarged” /broadcasted on internet (train video stream on livestream.com, ustream.tv the going and bring laptops in Dhaka ) ( see case 1 in annex below),

 more technical indications here  http://openfsm.net/projects/tecnointercomfsm/project-home

- by committing to be on time and with relevant people in the rooms in Dhaka for distance encounter activities agreed with people staying at home  ( see case 4 in annex below) .
