> back to top of 4 main notions

Activities in Common Space

**** 1/ 3 activities

The type of activities is very varied and can take any form as long as they are compatible with the spirit and word of WSF charter of principles .
The scope of activity has to do with the distinction between WSFprocess and WSF event

A - Activity” can be meant as a short time encounter for doing something together face to face during a social forum event of several day duration ( i-e 2008 Global mobilization next january ) , or in WSF Nairobi 2007, where 1200 activities were held ( see list here after registering in the site

in that case

• the activity in wsfprocess.net Common space will be a cooperative space where to prepare on line this face to face encounter,
• it will be registered in the social forum event program ( go to “add item” and select “ logistics form”)

Note : You can conversely unregister from an event by deleting this logistic file ( go to « content » and delete this logisitic file
note that this logistics file stays as a testimony that this activity has sessioned in nairobi so we advise to keep it)

B - Activity “can be also meant as a mid term project held in the on line on going common space of WSF process proportionned by WSF workspace

-it may then not be registered in/linked to any social forum event

C - Activity” can be somehow a mix of the two above ….


Note :

• you can make a statement about the scope of your activity in the activity workspace registration form that you are about to fill ( field scope of activity) this is an information that may be useful to other wsf participants
• In any case you can delete any of your activities at any time ( go to « content » in your dedicated space menu and « erase »
  

**** 2/3 Being responsible for an activity

• Organisations promoting one activity registered in Nairobi will be considered by Organisation comittee as collectively accountable for the preparation and holding of this activity in nairobi
• Organisations co- promoting one activity in workspace are deemed responsible for the contents that they produce in their own space in the workspace - ( see the legal notice @@)

**** 3/3 Collaborative work in activity folders

• “activity ” is a subfolder of an organisation or group of organisations, Activity has a description "form" associated to it , and can contrain all kind of documents .

  This description form is visible in “profile” of activity menu And documents contained in the folder are visible in « view « under the field brief decription edited in the form

• In this activity folder, participants of your group or organisation can input documents (using “add item” command) to prepare , to perform and to relate to reflect outcomes of activity

  Documents can be imported, created,( add item menu)
  copied/pasted (in « content » and « action » menus ) and worked upon or commented.
  Comment in a document are activated when editing the document , at the bottom of the form

• Note if administrators of the organisation or group promoting this activity have chosen a centralized working mode , only administrators can access “add item” command and create documents

Connecting activities for 2008

2008 mobilization , is an occasion to connect activiities together in order to maintain the international character of WSF process and continue networking despite the distance

Groups that are preparing activities for 2008 can choose (an)other(s) activity(es) outside their continent with which they wants to “connect” themselves (through mutual consultation )

This connection between activities and groups can materialize in various ways:

• through telephone conversation , chat by Internet,
• mutual visits of delegates during the respective activities, teleworkshops by Internet with audio and video,
• These possibilities can be extended as wished.

The organizers of the connected activities cooperate and help mutually to materialize the connection and to produce and edit, communication document of all kind that will give visibility to their activities to be ready during global day January 26/27, and to update it later on if relevant

The consultation can be started by exchanging messages in wsfprocess.net between the groups that wish to connecting their activities

the connection is manifested by editing the link to the other activity in the activity presentation in wsfprocess.net, it will then be made visible in a connection list or map

> 4 main notions

Proposals in wsf common space

**** 1/5 About proposals-of action for social change-------------

As per its charter of principles . "The World Social Forum is an open meeting place 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"

• Consequently in this wsf common space site , wsf participants can present/ register (as organization or , more cooperatively, as group of organisation) activities and proposals

• reminder: the list of the group partners will appear automatically in the list of the partners of this proposal and will be associated as group of partners organisation for this proposal in the WSF process

**** 3 /5 Developing and Supporting a proposal-----------

• Proposals are deemed supported by those organisation that participate in the groups that issue them
  

  ( the group can clarify its representation policy option in an explicit document, the presence of an organisation in the group might not mean there is an explicit support of the proposal for instance )

• Getting coopted in a group promoting a proposal means by default unambiguously supporting an officially consensed” version of their proposal clearly visible as such in the dedicated space of the group “- that can take the form of a series of document that all partners “ sign”
  
• One or various wsf participating organizations describe an existing or projected transformative action directed towards other possible worlds, that they jointly support , and give indication on related basic implementation questions: what ? why? for what ? who ? where ? when ? how ? etc....
• These partners can then discuss internally their differences of approach in the group about new versions of their proposal , with further description and implementation steps .
• These partners can also form other groups (“ proposal discussion group”) where they can invite organisation that want to discuss the proposals without supporting it
• in any case you can delete a proposal ( go to « content » and erase
  

**** 4/5 Being accountable for a proposal -----

• Proposals are deemed to be supported by those organisation that are present in the groups that issue them ( unless otherwise explained in a "representation policy" document issued by the group)
  

**** 5/5 Collaborative work inside proposal folders

• In the WSR common space, a proposal is a "folder" ( as in the desktop of any computer) , this folder that has a description "form" associated to it , and can contrain all kind of documents .
• This proposal form is visible in “profile” of the menu availalbe when accessing the proposal
  
• Documents contained in the folder are visible in « view «
