[P2P-F] Fwd: [CommonGood] call for the AEPF-conference 10-12- october in Milan

Mon Jul 21 09:23:57 CEST 2014

*Join the 10th Asia-Europe Peoples’ Forum *

*“Towards a Just and Equal Asia and Europe - *

*Building States of Citizens for Citizens”*

Milan, Italy, 10-12 October 2014

On 16-17th October 2014 the 10th Asia Europe Meeting (ASEM10) will take
place in Milan hosted by The European Union. Heads of State and Government
from across Asia and Europe will meet to discuss their future priorities
and plans.

Prior to ASEM10, the Asia-Europe People’s Forum (AEPF) will hold its 10th
biennial People’s Forum on

10-12 October 2014 under the title “*Towards a Just and Equal Asia and
Europe - Building States of Citizens for Citizens”.*

AEPF10 will tackle major themes or People’s Visions, which represent AEPF’s
hopes for citizens of Europe and Asia.  These are:

-                *Socially Just Trade and Investment*

-               *Universal Social Protection – Guaranteed decent jobs,
access to Essential Services and Social Security;    *

-                *Food Sovereignty and Sustainable Land and Natural
Resource Management; *

-                *Climate Change, Sustainable Energy Production and Zero
Waste; and *

-                *Peace and Security*

Progress towards the realisation of these People’s Visions, or
Alternatives, is at the heart of a way out of the multiple crises
confronting people, states and institutions. The ecological, debt,
financial, energy and food crises, which have been caused and compounded by
the policies and practices of many governments in both rich and poor
countries and their approaches to regulation of business, have caused
increasing social polarization between peoples and states. In Asia the
crises are exacerbating poverty and inequality, already widespread before
the present crises. In Europe the crises are creating
indebtedness, joblessness and insecurity. We are increasingly experiencing
‘corporate capture’–multinational and national corporations structuring and
determining our lives and livelihoods. The responses of citizens are often
at local and national levels and to complement these, the AEPF is looking
to encourage and strengthen cooperation and solidarity of people’s networks
regionally, inter-regionally and globally.

This is a call to social movements, frontline communities and campaigning
networks, and progressive NGOs, academics and parliamentarians across Asia
and Europe to come and join us, to be part of the AEPF10 Forum.  You can be
part of an event that is open, dynamic and inclusive and focuses on
meaningful and practical discussions for change.

AEPF10 will be an exciting series of interlinked dialogues, workshops,
actions, policy debates and open spaces. You can be part of this in many
ways:  you can *actively participate* in the discussions and building
of *People’s
Visions,* *co-organize an event*, and/or *contribute human and financial
resources.* There will be a call for expressions of interest to organise
workshops and events soon.

Interested in joining us?  Contribute your knowledge, resources or time to
enable AEPF10 to be a success.

*This is your forum!*

Please watch out for announcements on AEPF10 activities and on how to
register as participant or co-organizer of events at the AEPF website
www.aepf.info. For further information, you may contact
