Welcome to the Melbourne Social Forum |
 |
 |
 |
The Melbourne Social Forum is a process, a movement, an event and an organisation. The MSF facilitates social change and explores alternatives in the interest of social justice and ecological sustainability.
The Melbourne Social Forum is a catalyst that brings together a diversity of ideas, perspectives, activists, religious traditions, cultures and organizations from the not-for-profit, profit, education, arts, indigenous rights, unionist, social justice and environmental justice areas. By building bridges between many progressive organisations and sharing visions, we are better able to address the pressing challenges of the 21st century, be they global or local in scope. Our energy materialises through the organisation of events online and in the real world where the MSF provides a platform for discussion, workshops, stalls and the enjoyment of music, arts, food and culture. In 2007, over 500 individuals and organizations took part in our three day event at CERES environmental park where they attended some of the 50 workshops, 30 stalls, 4 key note speakers and enjoyed live music, delicious food, a film festival and other art and cultural displays Over 800 people have already signed on to keep up to date and get involved with the moment. Will you be the next to join and sign-up for our newsletter? |
