In the three years since its inception the World Social Forum has become
an international landmark. In an era where corporate globalisation is
presented as an inevitability, where the neo-liberal notion of development
increasingly pervades most governments and undermines traditional
cultures, thousands of activists, artists, academics, economists, writers,
students, farmers, workers and many others will gather to protest this
domination of capital over humanity, with vitality, wit and vision and to
celebrate an alternative view of democracy and development because ANOTHER
WORLD IS POSSIBLE.

from16th-21st January.
