FORO SOCIAL MUNDIAL / WORLD SOCIAL FORUM
ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE

The World Social Forum is an international framework for all those opposed to globalization and building alternatives to think and organize together in favour of human development and surmounting market domination of countries and international relations. It operates as an understructure for reflective thinking, democratic debate of ideas, formulation of proposals, free exchange of experiences and interlinking for effective action, by groups and movements of civil society that are opposed to neoliberalism and to domination of the world by capital and any form of imperialism.

The World Social Forum (WSF) met for the first time in the town of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil, from January 25 to 30, 2001, with the aim of standing in opposition to the World Economic Forum of Davos. Since 1971, this World Economic Forum has played a strategic role in formulating the thinking that promotes and advocates neo-liberal policies the world over. Its organizational base is a Swiss foundation that functions as a UN consulting body and is funded by more than 1,000 multinational corporations.
