An exchange of ideas that took place in the context of the preparations for the WSF-related meetings in Durban, South Africa, and in reaction to the article of Roberto Savio (IPS) "World Social forum : the cradle of global civil society".

Antonio Martins (Collective responsible for the office of the WSF Brasil, Liberdade Brasil and NIGD), 20 July 2006, social forums lists and to others

I've been thinking a lot on the risk of disappearing, as you expressed in Bamako. I belive that this idea, of organizing a day similar to February 15, is great. The same proposal was formulated, some days ago, by Rafaela Bolini (ARCI, Italy), in a meeting in Rome. We should try to design it.

What do you think on the idea of proposing some "identitarian" world march? One in which everyone in our movements would feel included: the anti-WTO, anti-debt and anti-war campaings, but at the same time the feminists, the environmentalists, those who work against the poverty, for the rights of animals and for the learning of esperanto?

Something as identitarian as the Gay Pride Parades, in which all proposals are welcome, all groups can express their wills and struggles, their identities and forms of organization. A world march (organized in many countries and cities) that would propose anti-hegemonic *values* (Dignity, for instance) that all of us support, and under which all concrete proposals can feel included. A huge Seattle march, but worldwide, organized in each city as to promote our diversity and, at the same time, the idea that we share the conviction that another world is possible, that humankind has the right to build its future? A world march that would be held, perhaps, in the final day of Davos, just to reinforce the idea of alternative?
