About our initiative GlobalSquare is a series of online and physical meetings and assemblies whose participants and organisers are individuals linked to the 15M, Occupy, Student Movements, Yo Soy 132!, Tharek, Idle No More!, VIA22 as well as other movements. Our objective is to prepare a lively open space for physical contact and exchange during the World Social Forum (WSF) which will take place from 26-30 March 2013 in Tunisia where the flames of the global intifada first sparked in January 2011. We are hoping to enhance collaborations and exchange among citizens and activists who are linked to various movements in different continents by organising collective events and actions towards, around and beyond the WSF.

Open Invitation to the Next #GlobalSquare Initiative Meeting – Sunday 2/17 #wsf2013 #tunisia
Below is the invitation to next online meetings of the GlobalSquare initiative, previously known as Occupy the WSF.
Next meeting of GlobalSquare Location: Occupytalk.org server Room: Assemblies & Round Tables > OPEN SPACE (instructions below) Date: Sunday, 17th of February 2013 Time: 19.00 GMT/UTC Check your local time here: time zone converter
About our initiative
GlobalSquare is a series of online and physical meetings and assemblies whose participants and organisers are individuals linked to the 15M, Occupy, Student Movements, Yo Soy 132!, Tharek, Idle No More!, VIA22 as well as other movements. Our objective is to prepare a lively open space for physical contact and exchange during the World Social Forum (WSF) which will take place from 26-30 March 2013 in Tunisia where the flames of the global intifada first sparked in January 2011. We are hoping to enhance collaborations and exchange among citizens and activists who are linked to various movements in different continents by organising collective events and actions towards, around and beyond the WSF.
Within the context of recent horizontal meetings in Madrid, Spain (Agora99) and Florence, Italy (Firenze10+10) a diverse group of individuals active in grassroots movements and networks around the globe started a conversation about participating in the WSF in Tunis. Recognizing it’s value as a time and place to come together, meet, share, and strengthen our networks by exchanging our experiences and practices, we started an open participatory process to prepare for it. Through regular meetings and an inclusive mailing list we have wish to create a space open to a variety of initiatives, especially for participants from the various movements that emerged throughout the last two years (Tunisia, Egypt, Senegal, Morocco, Spain Chile, Usa, Quebec, …..).
Many proposals have been suggested in the past meetings: a series of assemblies, an open space about the future of our struggles, skill-sharing workshops, a camp and a migrant caravan to Tunis, links between local actions and activities and Tunis, and more.
In order to give an extra tool to this process we have started a web site which is important as it allows us to share information, to build up the proposals, to work together in an open, horizontal and transparent way.
On this website you can also find all the relevant information about GlobalSquare like previous discussions, proposals, collaborative pads etc.
We hope you’ll find the idea interesting and if this is the case you are welcome to join our mailing list, our working groups, our on line meetings and preparatory processes.

TheGlobalSquare
A project to perpetuate the creative and cooperative spirit of the occupations and transform them into lasting forms of social organization.
Releases

Philosophy
The goal of the Global Square is to perpetuate and spread the creative and cooperative spirit of the occupations and transform this into lasting forms of social organization, at the global as well as the local level. The organization of the 2011 protests and the collaboration between them has rested in part upon the innovative use of social media. However, as a group of volunteers who were directly involved in the coordination of the worldwide protests, we have found the existing social media to be increasingly restrictive in its functionality. While Facebook and Twitter have been very helpful for disseminating basic information and aiding mass mobilization, they do not provide us with the tools for extending our participatory model of decision-making beyond the direct reach of the assemblies and up to the global level. Neither do they provide us with project management tools for our working groups. We need a platform that allows us to add function and clarity to our global organizational efforts, while maintaining the independence of each local structure. In addition to the local squares, which must have the flexibility to accommodate whichever governance and communication model is decided on by each region, we also need a global square where people around the world can come together to participate in the coordination of collective actions and the formulation of common goals and aspirations. It must combine the communicative functions of the existing social networks with the organizational functions of the assemblies and provide flexibility for the future. It will provide a space for development of work systems of global interest, avoiding redundancy and allowing expertise and effort to be shared. It will allow for great organizational flexibility, so that every section of the movement can work in the organizational style that is most appropriate for them. The aim of the platform, in this respect, should not be to replace the physical assemblies but rather to empower them by providing the online tools for local and (trans)national organization and collaboration. The ideal would be both to foster individual participation and to structure collective action. The Global Square will be our own public space where different groups can come together to organize their local squares and assemblies — and where different squares can join hands to coordinate their collective projects in any work system such as the News Commons. The platform can also act as a repository for global knowledge and news, to aid in our discussions and help us build for the future and ensure we are creating systems with the best knowledge and expertise available. Systems such as the Philosophy Forums will allow input and expertise to be heard from around the world, while still leaving all final decision making at the local level. The Global Square should enable the international bonds among people, uniting them from the global context to regional nodes of action and vice versa. Many work systems are better organized by interest and expertise than by land mass, and the Global Square will facilitate this organization. International work groups will avoid redundancy and allow us to share information and create solutions far more efficiently and with access to all of the expertise worldwide. The Global Square recognizes the principles of personal privacy as a basic right of individuals and transparency to all users as an obligation for public systems. While User Profiles will allow for as much privacy as the individual desires (technology permitting), Squares, Events, and Task Groups must be, at minimum, completely transparent to their user groups, and Systems must be completely transparent for full auditing capability by all Users.
Participate
We know several groups are working on platforms of the same kind. The idea of this project is simply to gather all the teams in a common working place. TheGlobalSquare is an open community where everyone is welcome to participate. As such it is also inclusive, which means horizontal and non-hierarchal. This is a space where coders, designers, itechs, artists, activists and philosophers are invited to collaborate together. We believe it is necessary to concentrate our energy, so if you are already in a group planning something similar or with the same objectives please participate in sharing them and enriching the project.
Donate
As some of you may know, the completion of such a project will also depend on the amount of funds we can have access too. This is why we are forced to ask for donations. A crowd-funding project is also being planned for in the future and we are also working on finding the perfect way to be absolutely transparent. We think a proper tool for this has not yet been invented so that debate must also be taken into account. For now, consider our Wepay account and Flattr button or contact us if you want to donate to the project.
