This year we have the chance to receive an important gathering in Canada. In Montréal, from August 9 to the 14, the World Social Forum (WSF) will be held for the first time in the northern hemisphere of the planet.
The WSF is the largest gathering of civil society to find solutions to the problems of our time. Started in 2001 in Brazil, the WSF is an annual gathering that brings together in each of its editions tens of thousands of participants to more than a thousand activities (workshops, conferences, artistic performances…) on various themes (social, solidarity economy, environment, human rights, democratization…).
For this edition of the WSF, 3 members of the International Movement for Monetary Reform (IMMR) will be represented. COMER, Monetative (Germany) and Dinero Positivo (Spain) will send delegates to Montréal and will each hold a presentation for the public. There will also be a round table for IMMR members to share on common challenges that we face regarding the monetary system. For more information, please look at list of activities organised by the WSF-IMMR committee on this webpage: https:// fsm2016.org/en/groupes/comite-wsfimmr-comittee/events.
If you would like to get involved in the coordination of activities related to the IMMR during the next editions of the WSF please contact us at wsf-immr@ monetaryreforms.ca. All help is welcomed.
Five members of the COMER executive plan to attend.
We have been in touch with Manfred Freund, of Dinero Positive, for some time, and are looking forward to meeting him and working together with him at the forum.
