5th, 6th and 7th of April 2019 : First convergence meeting
Work meeting 5th-7th April
Participants : agencies connected with different axes, representatives of networks and social movements at the local and international level
Each axis will develop dynamics directed towards establishing objectives, priorities to work through, and widen cooperation between the organizations involved. Work plans and next steps to follow will be agreed.
We suggest making the process the objective. We’re kick-starting a process of convergence, at both local and international level, of all those projects, movements and ways of understanding the economy that have as a common objective the construction of a genuine transformative alternative to the the existing economic system and capitalist investment.
We want to make this Forum an agora. We don’t want to limit ourselves to the celebration of a showcase event for expert talking heads, but rather to debate openly what kind of economy we want. Nor do we only want to argue and dream that this “other world is possible”, because we know, as a result of the countless projects that are creating alternatives, that it already exists. We want to find common strategies for making ourselves visible, joining together and growing in number.
We’re working towards a sustainable process, that has continuity beyond the 2020 Forum, both at a local and an international level. In order to do so, we must ensure that it is built from the ground and create face-to-face and virtual coordination spaces locally and internationally which are sustainable as spaces of convergence and transformation.
We want to make transformative economies known and to reach all those people who aren’t yet a part of them. To this end, we believe that it is essential that the Forum can count on a network of independent, supportive media outlets that can spread the word about the process and guarantee its growth.
