THE WSF: 1/ WHAT IS IT - 2/ HOW IS IT IMPLEMENTED? - 3/HOW TO GET INSPIRED FROM IT?

1/ THE WSF: WHAT IS IT 4 structuring principles

WSF principles document written after the success of the first event in 2001 in Porto Alegre – 14 principles  http://openfsm.net/projects/ic-methodology/charter-fsm-wsf-en

The principles speak of WHAT ( A space where a process of meetings unfolds) of WHO (organizations that recognize themselves in the participants' description of their values, goals and actions which is in the charter of principles (40% of the text) and FOR WHAT (with a view to 5 goals/functions Principles  don't talk about the HOW
(see part 2 below) We focus here on 4 structuring principles 1 2 6 7

PRINCIPLE 1/The WSF is an open SPACE of encounters – for 5 functions/goals between organizations which oppose neoliberalism and the domination of the world by capital and all forms of imperialism, and which work to build a human-centered global society -the 5 functions of the WSF and generic goals of the participants in WSF: deepen reflection, debate ideas, formulate proposals, exchange experiences, articulate with a view to effective actions – for another possible world

PRINCIPLE 2/ From now on, with the certainty proclaimed in Porto Alegre that "another world is possible", the WSF becomes a PERMANENT PROCESS of research and development of alternatives which is not reduced to the manifestations on which it is based. (the WSF event as a manifestation of the WSF process)

PRINCIPLE 6/ The encounters [activity and events] of the World Social Forum do not have a DELIBERATIVE character AS A WSF as a World Social Forum…(…..).. The WSF therefore does not constitute a locus of power that those who participate in these encounters can argue about, nor does it claim to constitute the only alternative for articulation and action of the organizations and movements which are participants in it .

PRINCIPLE 7/ The facilitators of the World Social Forum undertake to widely disseminate the DECISIONS of the participants made during the meetings by the means within their reach.

The principles provide clarity: acts of participation in the space and the process are voluntary, the autonomy of each collective is respected. There is a guarantee that no one speaks on behalf of the WSF in the WSF process

------------------

2/ THE WSF: HOW IT IS IMPLEMENTED – Four practical notions and two approaches

Notion of FACILITATION - Facilitation collective - facilitating is contributing to building forms and moments of implementation of the WSF and inviting participation in it , while remaining a participating organization like the others, and not a producer of content in the name of the forum.

Notion of Participant in a PROACTIVE role (who propose activities and announce initiatives and/or in a  REACTIVE  role (who react to invitations  shared from proactive organizations). These roles can be combined.

Notion  of MUTUAL VISIBILITY - implemented through mutual visibility platform – WHO is there in the WSF space? who proposes / announces WHAT with WHO?

Event based approach: An organizing collective facilitates a social forum event concentrated over a few days, even if prepared for months. This is the case of the NOC Nepal organizing committee -see the website wsf2024nepal.org 

Process based  approach : A collective which stimulates the intercommunication process for a period of time, without an event example:

Site asiasocialforum.net which invites people to come to the APSF process without offering an APSF event see the website asiasocialforum.net

and also The site JOIN.WSFORUM.NET existing for two and a half years which “displays” the WSF as a permanent process see the PURPLE menu “WSF PROCESS” in the site :-2000 organizations present, 1200 cumulative activities/meetings, including 200 outside of days of WSF 2021 and WSF 2022 events,(WSF principle 2) - 150 INITIATIVES describing decisions action plans declarations (WSF principle 7) - The sitepurple menu WSF PROCESS  shows a permanent” activity calendar” and a “calendar of public action dates” for the initiatives described, directly constituted from the actions description  of the participants

The concrete implementation of the permanent WSF process is now possible thanks to the widely distributed practice of online means of collective intercommunication (assimilated by organizations)

Complementary event website - process website : Concretely an organization can use the Join.wsforum site to show what it is doing in the process during the 5 months which come before the event in Nepal - There is an informal collective, (join collective), which takes care of this site, with the presence of organizations like Attac, Caritas, Ciranda, Mayfirst see the documentation here:

------------------------

3/THE WSF: HOW TO GET INSPIRED FROM IT WITH CLARITY - Two types of intercommunication processes between organizations

A/ social forum process type with DIRECT INSPIRATION from the WSF – a social forum process is built - as an open space and exchange process non-deliberative as a whole- One can display the FSM charter of principles as reference document and possibly also present a  complement text detailing the process to which  facilitators invite – EXAMPLE the APSF process in Asia initiated at the end of 2021, and the WSFI process which is at the start of construction place the WSFprinciples as a direct reference

B/ Social Assembly process type: INDIRECT INSPIRATION from the WSF a social assembly process is built as a space and process of intercommunicatin which can  “deliberative as a whole” - a specific charter of principles is crafted for the social assembly process under construction. which mentions the inspiration of the WSF and shows the main modalities on the overall deliberative character Example: A first social assembly process was initiated at the end of 2022 World Assembly of Struggles and Resistance of the WSFwith the website worldsocialassembly.org showing its charter.

C/ COEXISTENCE AND MUTUAL RESPECT BETWEEN WSF INSPIRED PROCESSES Possibility for a same organization to participate simultaneously and with clarity in different processes, as a participant or as a facilitating participant.

Discussions on the future of the WSF in 2022 allowed to establish a consensus formulation on a vision “of the Global WSF process” corresponding to all of these processes inspired by the WSF, social forum processes (the WSF remaining the largest of them) or social assembly processes, autonomous and in interaction with each other via cross-participations ;The common understanding of what the Global WSF process is leads everyone to respect in their acts of participation in a given process the formats and characteristics of other processes Example not attributing a “WSF” character to a decision made in a social assembly process  (respect for the characteristic of open space of the WSF process).

 

 

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT SQUARE OF STATEMENTS FEB19TH  COMENTABLE WORKING VERSION 

WHAT IS IT ?

A final moment  in wsf  where principle 7 of wsf is implemented 
"organizations or groups of organizations that participate in the Forums meetings must be assured the right, during such meetings, to deliberate on declarations or actions they may decide on, whether singly or in coordination with other participants. The World Social Forum facilitating group  undertakes to circulate such decisions widely by the means at its disposal, without directing, hierarchizing, censuring or restricting them, but as deliberations of the organizations or groups of organizations that made the decisions.

__MORE QUESTIONS  ANSWERS  COMING FROM  DISCUSSIONS  IN THE SSM  TEAM_

WHEN WILL THE STATEMENTS BE PREPARED  AND BY WHO ?

Each activity organizing group can  decide early if they want to prepare and propose a statement and work on the content of this statement along the design of the activity  -  Idea is there is a draft text to be presented  before  on line  or at least during the activity  - it is always possible to edit the “additional document” section of the activity page and put there the draft document 

 

IS THERE A TEMPLATE FOR  STATEMENT?

No. the statement  content is entirely to initiative of its promoters - 

it does  not have to be necessary a solemn text  -  it can  also in part or totality  be  a short text giving perspective  for the next months  and inviting people /organization to express their support fill an online signing form and joining   an online group 

just it needs  to be visible in the additional document/ other detail section of the actifvity page   and  should have an explicit enough title - the map of the square will give the title and the link to the activity page where the statement is visible 

HOW WILL BE THE HALLS OF BM VENUE ARRANGED FOR SSMOMENT

90% of chairs will be folded away and replaced with  around 50 ?   tables or couple of tables  and a few chairs  - so the wsf participants can  circulate easily between them
each table wil hav ea visible number  put in logical order so the participant can find the table where the statement that interest them is promoted 

CAN WE COME IN THE SQUARE OF STATEMENTS WITH ONLY DRAFT TEXTS SUPPORTED BY A FEW  ORGANIZATIONS

Yes as long as there is by 18ht evening 9 pm nepal  in the additional document/other detail of the activity  a  text  that can be a draft and there are 3 organizations links associated as supportive of that text - this is enough  to be in the square  

IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE A CONTACT TABLE ALLOCATED  TO GROUPS THAT DO NOT HAVE STATEMENTS IN THEIR  ACTIVITY PAGE?
