[fse-esf] CULTURAL ACTIVISM-NEW

[helen karassavidou]

Cultural activism seminar (or/and action) in athens European Social Forum.

The main idea of the 3 cultural groups involved is to explore and 
learn/promote more the ways cultural actrivism can be used in order to 
promote values and consiousness. On the contrary witrh themartic fields, 
this activism can be addressed to all segments of society and to be helpfull 
for all fields/issues. Apart from that 2 strong point to remember that any 
kind of substancial culturalactivity draws the movement outside of its own 
conservativism and that in the past thematic movements were spreadand 
pronmoted through culture (in USA, in Mediterannean,  in Latin America etc)
Apart from the very important theoretical exploration the practical  idea is 
to build an international network. As a first step this will make fir 
instance a pan-European day of culrtural activism that will promotefor 
instance in the squares of the European cities an anti-war message AND the 
European Social Forumin Athens (possibly a good month for this action is 
April...)
Thus in this first message i would like to urge you to search all possible 
org/groups or persons that will be intrested in working for this network and 
for this seminar in the Athens SF.Thanks everybody,
                                             with solidarity,
                          Eleni Karasavvidou (Kappa) Greece
