next?

Each section will be introduced by brief openings (10-15 minutes). Then an
open discussion will follow. At the end, the last half an hour of each
section to discuss what to do next on each topic, having in mind the path
toward the next ESF (September 2008) and eventual scheduled agendas in the
meanwhile.

You are kindly invited to participate and to spread the invitation, having
in mind that one of the aims of the network is the enlargement of the
involvement of actors concerned with labour issues (trade unions, social
movements and centres of research) in the ESF process and the reinforcement
of the same utility of the ESF for this kind of issues; and the
accumulation, during the preparatory process of the next ESF, of materials,
relationships, lines of research that will be used to prepare the next ESF
(planned in Scandinavia for September 2008).

See you in Stockholm!

 

Marco Berlinguer
