| The world social forum is an open meeting place where groups and movements of civil society opposed to neo-liberalism and a world dominated by capital or by any form of imperialism, but engaged in building a planetary society centred on the human person, come together to pursue their thinking, to debate ideas democratically, for formulate proposals, share their experiences freely and network for effective action (see the charter of principles). The wsf proposed to debate alternative means to building a globalization in solidarity, which respects universal human rights and those of all men and women of all nations and the environment, and is grounded in democratic international systems and institutions at the service of social justice, equality and the sovereignty of peoples. The two first editions of the world social forum were held in porto alegre, brazil, on the same dates as the world economic forum was meeting in davos (click here to read about the origin of the wsf). By proposing to strengthen an international coalition of the widest range of social movements and organizations, on the principle of respect for differences, autonomy of ideas and forms of endeavour, the wsf ceased to be a single locus of convergence for the struggle against neo-liberal globalization and sought to become a world process. In pursuit of these aims, in addition to the annual world social forum meeting in porto alegre, regional and thematic social forums are organizing. These events are designed to explore specific issues considered priorities in the present world situation by the wsf international council |
