The event is organized by Tampereen Sosiaalifoorumi ja Mahdollisuuksien tori and Fingo ry - Suomalaiset kehitysjärjestöt.
World Social Forums started in Brazil in 2001 in Porto Alegre, Brazil, as an attempt to bring in answers to agressive capitalism and neoliberalism. Since them, the event is happening each year.
Local Social Forums as important as well since they bring together non governmental organizations, advocacy campaigns, and formal and informal social movements seeking international solidarity.
And solidarity is one of the pillar of sustainability, that’s for sure.
