Invitation
The next European Preparatory Assembly (EPA) of the European Social Forum will take place in Frankfurt am Main in Germany.
After the exiting days of the 4th ESF in Athens this meeting will give us the opportunity to rethink and evaluate the event. We have to discuss the future of the movement, the venue of the 5th ESF and how to organize it.
Facing new wars and threats, being confronted with harmful attacks on social and democratic rights we have to think about more effective strategies of the movement.
The venue of the EPA is the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität
