May 2006 the European Social - "Autonomous Spaces" / Open Public Ephemeral Zone

Dear friends,

We inform you that during the first week of May 2006 the European Social
Forum will take place in Athens. At the same time the open assembly for the
creation of the "Autonomous Spaces" / Open Public Ephemeral Zone
will use a university space in the centre of Athens and will produce an
ephemeral autonomous zone that will try to bring together all the grassroots
anticapitalist, autonomous and antiauthoritarian collectives, groups and
movements. Together we will try to co-create an open public space that will
give the opportunity to all the libertarian radical utopians, anarchists,
antiauthoritarians, libertarian communists, green anarchists, antisystemic marxists, anarchoprimitivists, the squats, social centers and all anti-hierarchical collectives
from any lineage of the modern libertarian thinking -action to present their work,
express their ideas, and come to public dialogue with the other collectives.
This is an open invitation for all the creative political and cultural affinity groups
and personal initiatives to participate in the creation of the zone and the formation
of the social and political agenda.

You can send your propositions to take part in the general program of the meeting
until 15th of April.

We would like to let you know that this congregation will give us the
opportunity to create an antiauthoritarian autonomous zone and express our
ideas. It will also provide the ability to each collective to organize its own space,
prepare and present its own lectures, workshops or documentary shows
and participate to the general assemblies and forums.

We announce below the thematic issues of the assemblies and the forums and we
wait from you the expansion and the enrichment of this catalogue with your
own propositions:

*Work
*Immigration
*City movements and Ecology
*Suppression
*International Movements and New Technologies
*Social Centers, Squatting
*Direct Action
*Sexism and Homophobia
*Libertarian, Anarchist and Antiauthoritarian Ontology
*Contemporary Every Day Life and Future Social and Cultural Movements
*General Assembly: Autonomous – Anticapitalistic Space and Antiglobal Movement


The whole procedure according to the preparations until now will take place
on five phases (more ideas can be organized and much more actions can take
place through the _expression of initiative):

a) Autonomous Spaces / Open Public Ephemeral Zone / Athens 4-7 May 2006
Four days of open public dialogue, networking of information, lectures,
info-centers, books or pamphlets exhibition, live internet shows,
film shows and documentary video projections and open celebrative public
situations

b) Action of Solidarity and Social awareness outside of Immigrant's Concentration Camp

c) Actions of Social awareness at the City Market and other Working spaces

d) Meetings and workshops at the social centers of Athens

e) Total Freedom Street Parade / organized by Void Network
An open invitation from Void Network to all the anarcho-ravers, the
technical sound-systems, the psychedelic trancers, the space travelers to
built a global celebration of social awareness in the streets of Athens
that will send in all over world the message of the fight for Total Freedom

We believe that it would be very helpful any collective which would like to
take part in this festival to prepare for traveling, to prepare their
lectures, and to help with the publicity networking.

According to the economical difficulties of some collectives we can
understand that some of them can not organize the traveling in Athens,
so we offer them the opportunity to participate and express their ideas
through books or pamphlets exhibition that they can send or to appear
through live internet shows, film shows and documentary video projections.

We look forward for any reply from you as soon as possible.
