2nd EUROPEAN SOCIAL FORUM 12TH - 15TH November 2003, PARIS.
Another World is Possible! Lets Build it..!
Get on Board the special ESF train and join tens of thousands of people from all over Europe as they come together to discuss how to build another world, and to organise opposition to corporate globalisation and war.

2nd EUROPEAN SOCIAL FORUM, PARIS, 12-15TH NOVEMBER

After the spectacular success of the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre 2001, 60,000 activists, trade unionists, peace campaigners and ordinary people gathered in Florence last year for the first European Social Forum (ESF). Following on and in the spirit of the World Social Forum, the second ESF is being organised in Paris for 12th to 15th
November 2003.

New possibilities and opportunities are being presented to build another Europe for another world. Since the first ESF Europe has witnessed some incredible struggles - from the anti-war movement to strikes in France and the incredible gathering at Larzac in August. In the aftermath of the fantastic global anti-war campaign, the continued success of the global justice movement and the mounting problems faced by politicians such as Blair, Bush and Berlusconi, the second ESF promises to be a crucial event.

There will be hundreds of forums, debates and meetings, cultural events and plenty more besides (see below). Don't miss the next big event for the European movement.

ESF CHARTER OF PRINCIPLES...

The European Social Forum is not an organisation, not a united front platform, but "an open meeting place for reflective thinking, democratic debate of ideas, formulation of proposals, free exchange of experiences and inter-linking for effective action, by groups and movements of civil society that are opposed to neo-liberalism and to domination of the world by capital and any form of imperialism, and are committed to building a society centred on the human person".

The Mobilisation for the ESF (England) is a broad umbrella group of organisations and individuals involved in arranging the ESF itself, and in encouraging and facilitating people from around the UK to attend.
