What is the WFA?
The World Forum for Alternatives (WFA) is an international network of Research centres and concerned intellectuals from the South and the North, created in 1997. Its aim is to support the processes of convergence of Social movements and the surge of alternatives of democratic, pluralist and sustainable development, to the neoliberal globalization and the varrious forms of discrimination and domination.
The WFA sees in the joined action of citizen’s movements, in their requests and socio-economic initiatives and in their alternative policies, possibilities of a profond democratization of the world system, and even the beginning of a just and sustainable model of society. The WFA develops a specific collaboration with world and regional Forums and with the social and political dynamics that they generate.
The WFA is contributing to the numerous struggles for another world, by the collective construction of instruments of knowledge and communication about the struggles and also opening international spaces of debate on alternative strategies of developement and innovatives popular experiences. Such instruments and spaces for debates are at the disposal of social movements and of networks of citizens convinced that the internalization of the struggles – globalization from below – is the only way to transform the relationships of power imposing an injust and non sustainable worldorder.
