After Montreal in 2016, the World Social Forum is back in Brazil where it was first held in 2001. This year, it will take place in Salvador de Bahia from 13 to 17 March under the slogan “To resist is to create, to resist is to transform!” in a difficult national political context. We are looking forward to this space where alternatives to the current economic system are explored fostering our engagement for system change.
CIDSE, through its activities will be focusing on a range of issues among which the impact of the extractive model, business and human rights, climate change and energy. The World Social Forum will also be a chance to engage discussions on sustainable lifestyles through our campaign “Change for the Planet- Care for the People”.
Together with some of our member organisations – Development and Peace (Canada), KOO/DKA (Austria), Fastenopfer (Switzerland) and MISEREOR (Germany), partners and allies, we will be involved in the following events:
