What are the Villages for a New World?

The Villages for a New World is an international social movement, inspired in the World Social Forum (WSF). The Villages have appeared as a local counterpart, that is, as a community answer to the changing process that is necessary to the modern world. A conception of new energies necessity is appearing, we need an autonomy movement and self-administrated, accepting the universal human values, as in the same time it can be an affirmation of the human’s overcoming, from the free process, solidarity and collective in all over the world, in a web organization. The Villages for a New World intends to keep a permanent contact to the WSF, but it does not have any link to it.

The Principles Letter is a document with 10 statements released in January 26th, 2008 in Uberlândia, Minas Gerais, Brazil, as a part of the mobilizations of the Global Action Day of the WSF. The document was discussed and approved by a group of social militants with the commitment of implementing the purpose and to discuss it again one year later, to take a collective stock of what has been made.

The Principles Latter has appeared from another document with the same name, developed in La Paz, Bolivia, in October 2007, by Lourenço Andrade de Almeida, member of the Non-Governmental Organization called Action for the World Citizenship (ONG Ação pela Cidadania Mundial), for the 2nd Social Forum of Ancient Wisdoms, that was initially set to happen in Cochabamba but was postponed. The purpose development has started in 1997 in the Citizenship Action against Hunger, Misery and for Life, when was released the idea of a Solidarity Bank, that even if it was not implemented, was followed as a basis to the new purpose that was discussed by the Citizenship Action militancy, permitting its evolution.
