About the Sydney Social Forum

SYDNEY SOCIAL FORUM

Inspired by the World Social Forum which has taken place in Porto Alegre, Brazil, the Sydney Social Forum (in a more modest way) aims to create a space where participants can:

gain a broader understanding of activism in Sydney, share experiences and form links and networks to help build movements for change;
share and discuss analyses of the state of the world, visions of an alternative world and strategies to get from one to the other;
discuss and learn more about the nature and significance of the
international Social Forum movement, from the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre to the emerging regional and city-based Social Forums.

Over the course of a weekend, the SSF will facilitate a variety of meetings, workshops and other activities (e.g. music and film presentations) and is an open space for all those who wish to participate.

The Forum aims to become a regular event which can help all of us to improve our understanding of issues of social justice, globalisation and sustainability, how our communities are affected, and how we can work together for positive change.

The Sydney Social Forum can only be a real success with the participation of a broad range of groups and individuals.
