The central subject was the present world economic structure, the problems that are involved and the possibles alternatives, with special interest in World Social Forums celebrated in Porto Alegre, in 2001, 2002 i 2003. Porto Alegre has been ever since the centre and already host city of these world movements with the moto"Another world is possible". Different groups are working to get an alternative development in all strands, not only social and economic ones, but also cultural and environmental, that means to create a new model to restablish the harmony between the society and the environment, based on ecological and social criterions. Globalization, as they understand it, in peace, culture, education, services, social reforms, in order to reduce the unequalities either from a local view or a worldl one.

1. the defence to get an autonomous life, worthy and free for the people.
2. the defence of an equal society without economic, cultural, ethnical or national dominations as an alternative of capitalism.
3. the defence of the self government in a likely society and of their destiny.
4. the defence of solidarity towards oppressed people.
5. the defence of a participative and direct democracy, which means not only being able to vote but also control.

6. the defence of a respectfuldevelopment of nature and environment.
7. the defence of incorporating globalization of everybody in his own territory with principles of solidarity and humanity.
