English

On the Latin American Seminar at the WSF:
29th December 2009

In preparation for the WSF, staff from Caritas Latin America and the Caribbean will take part in the Seminar ‘Sustainable Development in Solidarity’ to be held on 25-26th January in Belem/PA. Experiences from the impact of the capitalist development model and examples of alternative proposals seeking sustainable development, in solidarity, taking into account environmental, social, political, financial and cultural dimensions will be presented during the Seminar. According to Loiva Oliveira, one of the organisers, the Seminar’s objectives include identifying common issues for Caritas from different countries. “The Seminar will also debate alternatives for another development model based on the organisation’s experiences”, Loiva stated.

WSF - From 27th January to 1st February, Belem will be the centre for world citizenship and reference for challenging inequality, injustice, intolerance and environmental devastation. Hundreds of self-managed activities - such as camping sites, offices, seminars, conferences, testimonials, protest marches, cultural activities, among others - taking place over those days will be spaces for exchange, reflection and drafting proposals for building an alternative world. The World Social Forum will take place at the Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA) and the Universidade Federal Rural da Amazônia (UFRA), a green area surrounded by the Guama River and the forest.

Helena Padilha (helenapadilha@yahoo.com.br and comunicação@caritasne2.org.br) is in charge of communications in Brazil.

They are important vectors for the development of human trafficking and must be under particular supervision:
