WSF is a space for democratic debate and workshops on ideas, proposals and exchanging of experiences for social movements, networks, NGOs and other civil society organisations that are opposed to the dominant neoliberal ideology. The WSF is characterised by its plurality and diversity. Since 2001 it has aimed to facilitate collaborative and decentralised work through a network of associations and movements engaged, both locally and internationally, in concrete actions to build another world. Alongside the WSF, the World Parliamentary Forum will bring together elected representatives from across the globe.
