World Social Forum

I am attending the sixth Polycentric World Social Forum in Caracas, Venezuela from January 24-29, 2006.

Friday, January 27, 2006

<Marc> 

The WSF is in full swing here now, with lots of panels and meetings going on. Yesterday I helped NIGD with panels and passing out information; today I'm hanging out with Boston and Venezuela people. I feel like I'm jumping between identities. This afternoon there is a strategizing session for the US Social Forum, and then Chavez is giving a talk--tho it would be hard to do both so we probably have to choose one or the other. My plan is to go to the US Social Forum. Right now I'm out at the meetings at the airport and have posted some more photos from here. It's rather noisy with planes and helicopters landing and taking off. I'll post more thoughts and reactions to the forum later, though I may not have time to write anything too detailed until after the forum is over.
