The movement building in the strategic centers of neoliberalism is not over for this year. Following the 2010 decentralized World Social Forum agenda, from the 1^st to the 4^th of July the VI European Social Forum (www.esfistanbul.org) will be held in Istanbul. It’s a great opportunity for the movements in Turkey to meet with their partners from Europe and to build alliances with them. The event itself will also be a great challenge against the neoliberal agenda, war, racism and discrimination.

The European Social Forum is an open space where civil society groups and movements opposed to a world dominated by capital or by any form of imperialism, and engaged in building a society centered on the human person, come together to freely share their thinking, to debate ideas democratically, to formulate proposals, to compare their experiences and to network for effective action. The fact that the European Social Forum is organized outside the official borders of European Union is important: this will support the expansion process of ESF to Eastern European countries. Another Europe is Necessary!
