Dear Friends,
The Global U Executive Team has registered three activities at the World Social Forum in Salvador de Bahia, Brazil (13-17 March 2018). The English edition of Memoirs of Francois Houtart, authored by Carlos Tablada,
will be completed in mid February, and will be uploaded to the Global U website for free downloads.
- We would like to organize a session to commemorate Francois Houtart at the WSF, and to launch his Memoirs. The forum is entitled "Commemorating Francois Houtart: for the Common Good of Humanity" (tentative date: pm, March 14). We hope those of you attending the WSF can be speakers in this forum, elaborating your conceptions for the Common Good of humanity, for an alternative world of justice and liberation. We will bring printed copies of Francois' Memoirs to the WSF. After this session, we hope Global U Founding Members can stay on for some time for sharing and discussion of projects and ideas for Global U.
- A forum on "Community Experiences for Socio-economic and Ecological Justice", where we will theorize community experiences that we are involved in or that we know of. (tentative date: pm, March 15)
- A forum on "China’s Experiences: Perspectives from the Grassroots". This seminar will examine China's experiences, both macro and micro. (tentative date: am, March 15)
We have requested interpreters in English, Spanish and Portuguese for all the three activities.
Please let us know if you would like to speak in any, or all, of the three activities. We will keep you informed of the confirmation from the WSF organizers.
Please also inform this community of any other activities you are organizing or participating in, so that we can try to attend each other's activities and have meaningful interactions.
Please find the WSF website at

Thank you very much,
With best wishes.
Kin Chi
