Thanks Sergio, for the initiative. I think OURMedia should have a strong
presence at the WSF. My ideas are going in two different directions:
 
1.      we could organize a very high-impact event, on the street, lots of
images, sound, music, multimedia. A kind of carnival of alternative and
citizens' media. Browsing our list of members I see we have so many
contacts, we are so close to so many fascinating projects and people. What I
have in mind would be a sampler of very different initiatives: women's
radiosoaps in Lima (Rosa Maria), videos by indigenous communities in Brazil
(Pat, do you have any contacts?), Bush Radio (Tanja Bosh), samples of media
produced by children and youth (dean Graber, Manuel Castillo, Tony Dowmunt),
anti-globalization, Indimedia, (Dee dee, Dorothy), media by youth in
Argentina (Susana), samples of indigenous media (Antoni, Donald, Michael
Meadows, Lorna), radical rock (Alan), Voices (Ashish), Radio Estrella del
Mar (clemencia) ...etc. I imagine many of these groups are already wanting
to go or planning on going, so the idea would be to organize the event and
to get money for people who want to attend but have no funding for travel.
2.      at a different level, I think we should organize something more
"formal", a joint event with AMARC, WACC, CRIS, the Highlaners, and others;
it could be a workshop on civil society and access to media, or something in
preparation of the World Summit in Geneva in 2003. I am already in the
process of contacting these other organizations to see who would want to
co-organize. Maybe a workshop about the discussion taking place in CRIS and
CRIS-AL? 
 
Gracias a Sergio por su iniciativa. Yo pienso que es muy importante tener
una presencia fuerte en el FSM. Mis ideas van en dos direcciones diferentes:
 
1.      organizar un evento que sea muy visible, en la calle, con muchas
imágenes, sonidos, voces, multimedios. Una especie de carnaval de medios
alternativos y ciudadanos. Mirando la lista de participantes en OURMedia veo
que tenemos contactos y gente muy cercana a muchos proyectos muy
interesantes. Lo que imagino es una especie de muestra que incluyera
iniciativas muy diversas: radionovelas de mujeres en Lima (Rosa Maria),
videos de indígenas en Brazil (Pat, tienes contactos?), Bush Radio (Tanja
Bosh), muestras de medios producidos por niños (Dean Graber y Manuel
Castillo), antiglobalización, independent media centers (Dee Dee, Dorothy),
cosas de jóvenes en Argentina (Susana), muestras de medios indígenas
(Antoni, Donald, Michael Meadows, Lorna), rock radical (Alan), Voices
(Ashish), Radio Estrella del Mar (clemencia) ... etc. Imagino que muchos de
estos grupos ya estan planeando asistir, así que la cuestión es de coordinar
para organizar la muestra, y claro, conseguir fondos para llevar gente que
quiere ir pero no tiene financiación.
2.      a otro nivel, pienso que deberíamos organizar algo más "formal"
conjuntamente con AMAR, WACC, CRIS, los Highlaners y otros, puede ser un
taller sobre sociedad civil y acceso a los medios, o algo en preparación
para la Cumbre de Ginebra del 2003. Ya estoy tratando de conectarme con
estas organizaciones a ver quién está organizando ya algo. Tal vez un taller
sobre las discusiones que se vienen desarrollando en CRIS y CRIS-AL?
