Welcome to the Contactgroup for Europe and the World's project on OpenEsf!
This is the webpage for the Contact Group for Europe and the World, in short the European Contact Group appointed by the Nordic Organizing Committee for the fifth ESF. Here you will find documents concerning the mobilization including from the European Mobilization Group set up by the European Preparatory Assembly in Istanbul. We hope this collection of material from the European Contact Group will be of help to the mobilisation for ESF in the future.

MAPPING TRANSNATIONAL ESF MOBILISATION 2008
The mobilisation for European Social Forum in Malmö 17-21.9 is primarily
organised in two ways. One is geographical which is carried out by national
or local mobilising committee which may consist of a new coalition of groups
or existing social forum organisations. The other is mobilising of movements
which is done in different ways. The Nordic coordinatiing Committee have set
up a Contact Group for Europe and the World to promote the mobilisation and
the European preparatory Assemnbly have set up a European Mobilising Group
working together with the contact group. The priorities are specially to
mobilise Central and Eastern Europe and new groups into the ESF process.
Below you find a mapping of the mobilisation so far that have come to our
knowledge. We call upon all that are doing activities to mobilise to inform
the Contact group and European mobilising group. In the list below also
activities undertaken during international action days called upon by
assemblies at social forums or World Social Forum have been listed, even if
the call may also have been made by other organisations. Please inform us if you know what
happened in your country.
Please note that the list is not updated yet. We'll fill in the blanks as soon as we can!
NETWORKING TOOLS:
The several ESF webteam of previous Forums facilitated the building of networking tools; that is, tools that systematise the contacts and networking data at the Forums that become in useful tools for the mobilization.
