The World Social Forum is an attempt to provide a free and open interchange of ideas between those who are involved in social change. The fact that there are few – if any – immediate dramatic results is a credit to this openness, for each situation has its own internal dynamics and there is no “one size fits all” solution to the world’s problems – no matter what the engines of “Globalisation” may tell us.

What the World Social Forum is
The World Social Forum is an open meeting place where social movements, networks, NGOs and other civil society organizations opposed to neo-liberalism and a world dominated by capital or by any form of imperialism come together to pursue their thinking, to debate ideas democratically, for formulate proposals, share their experiences freely and network for effective action. Since the first world encounter in 2001, it has taken the form of a permanent world process seeking and building alternatives to neo-liberal policies. This definition is in its Charter of Principles, the WSF’s guiding document. http://www.forumsocialmundial.org.br/main.php?id_menu=4&cd_language=2
