WORLD SOCIAL FORUM – ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE!

The southern Brazilian city of Porto Alegre will serve as the venue for the third World Social Forum from January 23-28, with organisers expecting attendance to top 100 000 in the gathering of social movements, non-governmental organisations, intellectuals and leftist groups from around the world - all striving under the banner of "A better world is possible". The WSF was inaugurated in January 2001 as a counterweight to the World Economic Forum, which brings together corporate executives, political leaders, economists and financiers in Davos, a Swiss city. Even more promising than the growth of the event, writes Michael Albert in a commentary ( http://www.enda.sn/Forum%20social/english/index.htm
