The assemblies are open discussions and participatory workshops on

1. Radical Women Assembly
An assembly on the situation of women in Europe. We will start by
talking about the myth of Sweden as the paradise of equality for
women, and then invite you to describe the situation of women in your
country. How is the situation of women on the labour market, in
unwaged work, everyday struggles (childcare etc), sexuality. We wish
to focus on the issues where class struggle and feminism meet. What
collective solutions exist for women in your country? What do you
need? What types of women's organization exist? In what way do women
take part in workplace struggles and the trade unions? After these
presentations we will discuss in smaller groups how we can act
together: actions and cooperation now during the social forum and in
the future.

2. Radical Assembly on precarity and workplace struggles
Struggle against precarity, from campaigns to selforganizing. Open
Assembly and workshop. Share your experiencies on combating the daily
exploitation on your workplace. Talk with and meet others in a
precarious work situation from different countries and exchange ideas,
smart tactics or conspire how to overthrow capitalism. A collective
enquiry on experiences from working 1) inside informal or formal
workplace collectives with your collages, 2) inside radical base
unions (for exampel CNT France and Spain, Cobas and RdB Italy, SAC in
Sweden), 3) inside institutionalized trade unions as a radical current
or rank-and-file network, 4) as supportive social movements, social
activism or campaigns (ex EuroMayDay-Parades, campaigns on precarity,
Labour.net, sans papiers ecc). Can there exist a intersection or
hybrid between social movement activism and union struggle? What
common ground exists between papperless migrants, unemployed and
students as sections of a precarious workforce, paid and unpaid
"female" work and other forms and methods of struggle from the
invisible workers of the world.

already exist? 2) What have been the experiences of cooperation and
collaboration amongst local (Euro)MayDay coalitions, beyond the
organisation of parades on May 1? 3) How do we understand the
European/international (Euro)MayDay "process"? 4) And what should be

center. Open Assembly and practical workshop for sharing experiences

Europe. A new wave of struggles for free zones and social centers
broke out after the eviction of Ungdomshuset in 2007. What are the
possibilities in Europe today to open new selfmanaged spaces for
social movements? What role can these spaces play in the local

squats?
