| World Social
Forum
Peoples' movements around the world are working to demonstrate
that the path to sustainable development, social and economic justice lies in
alternative models for people-centred and self-reliant progress, rather than in
neo-liberal globalisation.
The World Social Forum (WSF) was created to provide an open platform to discuss
strategies of resistance to the model for globalisation formulated at the annual
World Economic Forum at Davos by large multinational corporations, national governments,
IMF, the World Bank and the WTO, which are the foot soldiers of these corporations.
Firmly committed to the belief that Another World Is Possible the WSF is an open
space for discussing alternatives to the dominant neo-liberal processes, for exchanging
experiences and for strengthening alliances among mass organisations, peoples'
movements and civil society organisations.

| UNESCO
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
(UNESCO) was founded on 16 November 1945. For this specialized United Nations
agency, it is not enough to build classrooms in devastated countries or to publish
scientific breakthroughs. Education, Social and Natural Science, Culture and Communication
are the means to a far more ambitious goal : to build peace in the minds of men.
