What is the World Social Forum?

The World Social Forum is an open space for meeting to: intensify reflection, carry out a democratic debate of ideas, elaborate proposals, establish a free exchange of experiences and articulate effective actions by the entities and movements of civil society that are involved. oppose neoliberalism and the domination of the world by capital or any form of imperialism and, also, committed to the construction of a planetary society oriented towards a fruitful relationship between human beings and of these with the Earth.

The alternatives proposed in the World Social Forum are opposed to a globalization process, led by large multinational corporations and by the governments and institutions that serve their interests, with the complicity of national governments. These alternatives that emerged within the Forum aim to consolidate a solidarity globalization that, as a new stage in the history of the world, respects universal human rights, all citizens of all nations and the environment, supporting in democratic international systems and institutions that are at the service of social justice, equality and the sovereignty of the peoples.

The World Social Forum brings together and articulates entities and movements of civil society from all the countries of the world, but it does not pretend to be an instance of representation of world civil society.
