The International Council of the WSF was in 2.2. completed an evaluation of the Forum carried out in Belém.
bottom line: The Amazonian Forum has met all expectations. Compromises had to made in the international be.
The expectations for the mobilization of the i LinkedIn peoples of the Amazon basin have been fulfilled. Their presence was impressive. They could bring their concerns and express instructions to the worrying threat to their life-world. For them, the WSF has become the place in Belém, where they could bring their self-confidence to the whole nation and an international public expression. The quilombos, settlements that had previously established from escaped slaves who have shaped, with the forum. More than 1,500 quilombolas have come to Belém. The s ocial movements , especially the landless, were obvious.
The inhabitants of the vast Amazon basin have now been adopted in spite of the vast distances of the logistical challenges of poverty and the platform of the forum. The expectations that the Amazon basin, the strain causes an accelerated economic development for the environment and the population shows very well have been fulfilled. Indigenous, quilombolas, peasants and farmers and river fishermen were able to demonstrate clearly that they would be able to protect the ecological systems and to ensure social cohesion.
is particularly impressive, it was how many non-human j dominated the forum have. The International Council is pleased that a new generation, the Forum has adopted as his own. The youth representatives complain, however, that the youth as well as the indigenous people - has no representation in the International Council.
was intolerable exclusion of residents of the adjacent to the venues slums. They have been kept away by the admission control by the Forum area. To get better access to the two host universities, municipal lines were cleared and roads have been widened. The city of Belém and the state of Pará have partially matched only reluctantly with the Organizing Committee, basic concerns of the WSF, such as the openness of the Forum for All, have been at risk.
is very problematic the gap between aspiration and reality in the face of the waste stream, which has caused the forum and the flood of waste that has been poured on the event grounds. A separate N achhaltigkeitsstrategi e of the forum is overdue.
The "Amazonian Forum" is indeed successful. A "World Social Forum is Belém but only partially been. Most likely by the fact that problems and disputes illustrate the Amazon Basin with a globalized economy appropriated spaces and people. The international Presence but was weak. All major regions have been poorly represented: Africa, Asia, the Arab world, Eastern Europe.
a very significant advance have been providing the " Assambleias ", thematic meetings, the last day: They were prepared mainly good and well attended nearly all consensus documents have adopted that will soon be available online and discuss the International Council. is. These demonstrations are important points to strategies of global civil society to engage in a "different world".
The presence of the five leaders of Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay and Venezuela is upgrading the forum. You have followed the guidelines of the International Council: No appearances on the forum site, no major events during the conference hours 8.30 bis 18.00 clock. None of the meetings with leaders there have been a discourse, the self-representation of the President has taken great room. Here, questions arise about the relationship to be aimed at the Forum to governments. Some Council members want to contrast a much closer interaction between civil society and governments, which are supported by social movements. "
