The Worldwide social forum was essential as a worldwide event where thousands of women and men with a common objective mix with, with the same slogan “another world is possible”.
Each one on its level and its manner will remake the world the time of a forum. back in their own countries, the participants are going to question the order established by the “men in high places” and this through a whole series of initiatives citizens. Some consider them as soft dreamers, others are afraid of them because, an event of this scale fertilizes to the great displeasure of these detractors of the initiatives that we cannot deny. Indeed, the participants have the possibility of being known, to organize debates, to create networks which they would have been able with difficulty to set up in other circumstances. The various participants and the activists have three days to exchange their ideas and their experiences.
It is thus in the spirit of sharing and exchange that the AFD International will be, for the fourth time, in the Worldwide Social Forum of Tunis. After Kenya, Brazil and Senegal, AFD International organizes two conferences which will have as subjects:
