Movement Organizing, Technology and Networked Politics:

Friday 5th December 2008 - 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
The Mission Cultural Center Gallery

www.networked-politics.info
Please
join us for a comparative discussion of decentralized organizing and
networking strategies at the World Social Forum, the Americas Social
Forum, the European Social Forum, and the US Social Forum, with key
organizers from each. What are the successes, failures, and further
potentials of the Social Forum network models and how do each of these
Forums organize differently and how do they benefit from the internet?
This is a discussion for individuals and collectives
interested in the Social Forums and in global social movements more
generally. It precedes a weekend symposium on networked politics and
technological tools at UC Berkeley, and is part of an ongoing
collaborative research project on new forms of political organization.
Organized and sponsored by: Networked Politics project, Transnational Institute, Transform! Italia,
Glocal Barcelona, Funders Network on Trade and Globalization,
International Forum on Globalization, Labor Tech, International
Computer Science Institute at UC Berkeley, School of Information at UC
Berkeley, Global Commons Foundation.
This event is free and open to the public.
