Social forums are spaces where we can share and co-ordinate our struggles. They have been widespread across Europe for about two years. Following the anti-war protests similar forums have been created in many UK cities.
This November the European Social Forum (ESF) will meet in Paris. Manchester People's Assembly (social forum) is calling for a seminar at the ESF where people involved in UK forums can meet each other and exchange experiences and deepen our networks. This is also an excellent chance to learn from the experience of Social Forums across Europe. Please contact us if you want to support this seminar, or if you wnat to know more. To date, social forums have been established in Cardiff, Manchester and Durham, with more being organised in Sheffield, Oxford and Bristol.
