Resistere è creare, resistere è trasformare

Sabato 10 marzo 2018
Grazie al gran lavoro svolto dal Comitato organizzatore brasiliano tutto è pronto per la realizzazione del prossimo
Forum Sociale Mondiale (FSM) che si terrà dal 13 al 17 marzo 2018, a Salvador di Bahia (Brasile). Questa volta lo slogan del FSM è “Resistere è creare, resistere è trasformare”. ONG, sindacati movimenti popolari e di lotta, urbani e rurali, comunità indigene ed afro-discendenti, movimenti di donne, studenti brasiliani hanno ricomposto lo spirito di Porto Alegre, dove nacque l’esperienza del social forum, in una stagione di crescita partecipativa, di conquiste e di rafforzamento della democrazia.

Happy New Year 2018

Wednesday, January 3, 2018
This beautiful video, popped up from the archives, seems as an excellent way to wish
Happy New Year. St. Francis, tells St. Bonaventure, "from a reflection on the primary source of all things, filled with even more abundant piety, he would call creatures, no matter how small, by the name of ‘brother’ or ‘sister. Such a conviction cannot be written off as naive romanticism, for it affects the choices which determine our behavior. If we approach nature and the environment without this openness to awe and wonder, if we no longer speak the language of fraternity and beauty in our relationship with the world, our attitude will be that of masters, consumers, ruthless exploiters, unable to set limits on their immediate needs. By contrast, if we feel intimately united with all that exists, then sobriety and care will well up spontaneously.

World Social Forum 2018 launched an Open Letter to convene the people, organizations, social movements, networks and platforms of movements in Brazil, Latin America and the World to join the construction of the next world edition of the forum, which will be held in Salvador, Bahia [Brazil], from March 13 to 17, 2018. The proposal of this forum, in the midst of so many setbacks, loss of rights, democratic guarantees and freedoms throughout the world, is to think of common solutions for humanity, in a solidarity, democratic perspective, respect for diversity, to face the causes of various forms of violence, social and regional inequalities. The motto of WSF 2018 is to Resist is to Create, to Resist is to Transform pointing to the need for alternatives for another possible world.
