Alternatives Days 2007 in Quebec Social Forum

The 13th edition of Alternatives’ Days took place from the 23rd to the 26th of August at the University of Quebec at Montreal. Several hundred people participated in workshops and seminars which explored diverse themes from social ecology to water, peace, reasonable accommodation, citizenship, urban agriculture and social justice. It all took place with a helping hand from over 20 invited guests from the Americas, the Middle East, Africa, Europe and Asia.

This year, Alternatives Days took place in the context of the first Quebec Social Forum, which closed with a rousing march in Montreal on Sunday the 26th of August.

We invite you to take a look at our workshop et Social Forum summaries, written by Alternatives’ interns.
