Take part in creating another Europe!

Participate with program activities at the fifth European Social Forum in
Malmö on September 17-21th

This autumn the fifth European Social Forum (ESF) will be held in Malmö,
Sweden. It is the first ESF in Scandinavia and is expected to gather more
than 20.000 people from all around Europe. ESF is the European counterpart
to the World Social Forum and has become the clearly largest arena for trade
unions, social movements and a progressive civil society who wants another
Europe - and another World.

In a Europe of division between East and West, threatening social dumping
and diminished labor rights, privatizations and decreased public welfare,
democratic deficit in the EU, growing walls towards people in the rest of
the world and an ever more urgent need for radical action to tackle a coming
climate disaster, ESF is needed now more than ever! Take part in making a
social, just, ecological sustainable and democratic Europe possible -
another Europe for us living in Europe - and another Europe which is
necessary for creating another world!

The program of the ESF is created by all participating organizations. Your
organization and your experiences are crucial! Take the opportunity to
submit proposals for program activities - workshops, seminars, assemblies
and so on - directly at our website (http://www.esf2008.org). It will be
possible to submit proposals for program activities until May 31st. At our
website you will also find all the necessary information about ESF in Malmö,
the Nordic organizing committee, how to register your organization and
submit program proposals, and how process to build the ESF program is
working.

The big focus for this ESF will be in alliance building, mobilization and to
create concrete collaborations for new initiatives, actions and campaigns.
The ESF is not merely an arena for contemplating the current states of
affairs in Europe and the World - it is about creating real change and
making another Europe and another World possible! Furthermore there will be
extra efforts in order to achieve as broad and deep participation as
possible from Eastern Europe.

In short: Warmly welcome to participate in the fifth ESF in Malmö and to
submit your proposals for program activities! And please help us to spread
this invitation as broadly as possible through your organizations, networks
and contacts!

Lets build another Europe and another World!

/The program group, Nordic organizing committee
