Within the World Social Thematic Forum
different thematic spaces have been
opened representing different spaces
of global civil society. Among these
are: syndicalists, local authorities,
environmentalists, peasants, boys and
girls, youths, NGOs, women, indigenous
peoples, etc. Each of these spaces has
been given the denomination ‘Sectorial
Space’. The sectorial meetings
will take place simultaneously on the
17th of June between 8 am and 6 PM.
Each sector has adopted the methodology
which is best adapted to its interests,
of which we can mention panels of discussion,
conferences, and workshops, among others.

boards will be in the evenings of the
