2. Recommendation of ASCOP Peoples Congress: Implement
Saturday, November 6 CRISIS WE ENRICH OUR TALENTS AND SKILLS OF OUR This Saturday is a much broader audience that comes to the meeting of the Peoples Congress and ASCOP: fifty people have indeed joined the participants of the previous day to present their concerns, their projects, their activities and to try to establish a connection with global civil society. With a bit behind the schedule, the meeting was opened by Shahid Ahmed, president of RAZDED. He says that another world is possible if, what Roger Winterhalter, co-host of the day, adds that when you have listened to the testimonies of people here and the experiences there, it should transforming words into deeds. THE RAZDED The first testimony concerned the "Network of Associations of Zagora for Development and Democracy." Already submitted the day before, this collective created in 2007 organized a multitude of seminars and training sessions on development, human rights and democracy. He led literacy activities that have already concerned about 9000 women to help children to develop their economic activities through funding and guidance or training in management and he is also involved in health programs. The RAZDED is now in committee in the National Initiative for Human Development. FAMILIES OF MISSING
Morocco has experienced years of lead in which a multitude of people have disappeared. The families formed in 1999, an association of families to trace the missing. Enforced disappearance is a displacement of people already imprisoned to places of secret detention, including some in the region of Zagora The political opposition, but also social actions of individuals without any commitment or social or political targets were repression. The phenomenon lasted several decades, without reaching the magnitude of crimes committed in Chile or Argentina. The Moroccan Association of Families of Disappeared has several lines of work:
The association is part of a dynamic world: it is in correspondence with the families in Latin America, Europe and Asia to form federations, so that the phenomenon does not happen again. This shared commitment across the globe has generated an international convention. However, if that Convention is applicable, it needs to be ratified by at least 20 countries. So far 19 countries have ratified, but not Morocco. Great opportunity to get into the story! The repair process: it should recognize the fact that the South-eastern Morocco has suffered from the phenomenon. A meeting was held in Agdez, and this was the first official step of a plea for community reparation, because it is necessary to go beyond the individual level, because the repression that lasted several decades has clear economic implications. This concept of community reparation was officially recognized and taken up and framed by the authorities in 2005. It covers eight provinces. In each province has been set up coordination in caring for people's basic rights and the establishment of community projects run by community groups that bring together all local stakeholders: administration, traditional associations, traders and others, so that create links of solidarity between all Moroccan citizens in the global community. Of course, these projects fit themselves into a process of sustainable development ALTERNATIVE MEDIA The following testimony was supported by a journalist who advocated free information, free of any economic or political interference. The media play an important role in the way of approaching problems and rule the world. Now we're in a period where information is monopolized and became a sharp weapon and for fatal citizenship. We try to put aside the public and make them allies of media moguls. This phenomenon is particularly noticeable since the fall of the Berlin Wall, "and so far it's pretty difficult to create a reaction. It took 20 years of reflection and the results are not yet acquired. Reviews and tests are coming. The current situation is scary. The model global citizen is a citizen neutral uncommitted, not vindictive. The magnates press trying to make sense, makes it a nonsense to most people. They attack citizens of the world in what they have more personal: the lives and culture. Suffice to say they succeed where Hitler failed, but more gentle. The tycoons are trying to create stereotypes of each other. How is the other, Arabic, Black, French ... From there we try to dominate, divide and conquer. You can find the same prejudices around the world. Citizens are shaped. They succeeded. What to do? Simple proposals would be to establish community radio stations, free media and the Internet may prove useful. The people must reclaim the information locally, exposing the information handled, and release information. MOVEMENT FOR THE THIRD This movement ensures that public responsibilities are fairly well distributed between men and women. Based on the finding of underrepresentation of women in the political sphere, this movement created in May 2006 covers all regions of Morocco. It consists of 17 associations, including the RAZDED. He worked on three major objectives: 1. advocacy for the number of women in responsibility, 2. facilitating women's access to positions of responsibility, 3. local development likely to bring out the engagement female audience. Several seminars were organized. The movement tries to create a permanent committee in each municipality: a Committee on Equal Opportunities. The movement questions the need to develop its own structures and networking. It seeks to broaden its base. ACTION FOR YOUTH - NEW HORIZON Young Moroccan Rabat committed to defending and promoting human rights for collective freedom. These young people seeking a new approach to the problems they face. The first action takes place in Sale, near Rabat city, 1200000 inhabitants without any public structure including in cultural and charitable organizations. This produces a feeling of frustration among young people living in a dormitory town. The association "Youth Action", created in 2007, works to create public spaces for free speech and debate on policy issues in particular. The association invites young people into political movements to draw a new vision, a new generation of young activists in our societies, to open up all forms of alternative especially in cultural matters, open up the debate in the neighborhoods where there are young people affected by the atrocity situations lived in Morocco. LIVE COVERAGE How to make women of all backgrounds and all countries can communicate in simple and inexpensive to implement a common international level to express their hopes? The proposed answer is through the realization of small squares, a kind of patchwork patterns and colors to the most diverse messages and make it a live cover as representative of life, challenges and hopes of those who contribute. The project is to create a hedge of a kilometer, which represents 64,000 small squares. Currently 1000 square were made and assembled. Part of this coverage is set out in the lobby of the Hotel Salam Zagora. Another part is exposed in Canada. The project is run from March 8, 2008. Ground cover is virtual: a site has been created where each square is photographed and, often, with a message. COMMON RURAL SOUTH-EAST OF MOROCCO An example of citizen democracy is exposed by a representative of a rural region of Zagora. The region has a special dynamic to the development This dynamic is born of similar socio-cultural aspects of this region This regional context has given rise to the Youth Forum for Democracy. For local development in the region, there are socio-cultural barriers, there are hegemonies due to centralization. Action is being taken against poverty, unemployment, literacy and to prevent rural-urban migration. There are institutional barriers: no real policy We believe in the role of civil society, we want to participate in the construction of regionalization. "This is an active and influential force to the concerns of people, enjoying high credibility and high efficiency. As an association, we work together with determination to achieve democracy for a conjunction expanded. We are strongly committed to our identity. " HOUSE OF CITIZENSHIP AND GLOBAL SOLIDARITY Kalima Arbouche, AMESCIMOD (Maghreb-European Association for Solidarity global citizenship by the Sustainable Development), thanked the participants and said he was very proud and satisfied. For 6 years she is the project of a "house of citizenship and global solidarity" to Zagora, which would be to exchange, a place of love and brotherhood on earth, a place of formal link the construction of another possible world, a place for sharing and implementation of global governance, a place where motor might leave the globalization of local communities. "We are like the spring of humanity and we are confident that this spring will come from the South." ASCOP And it around Alain Ball to speak to speak to the Consultative Assembly of the Peoples Congress (ASCOP). Alain goes straight to the point: ASCOP is a flexible, informal, almost allows citizens to get in line and get to work while communicating with others, lead meetings and make things happen, Together in the enthusiasm of all those who have volunteered for a new world is gradually put in place. The previous speakers have had many more things to say, but the time limit for such evidence had expired. The afternoon would be organized into three workshops: (Workshop consists of a large number of young) What do we want?
What do we do? 1. establishment of associations with youth assets (commitment - Accountability)
2. act at institutions across political parties: the absence of the rule creates gaps 3. necessary bridges between political actors and civil 4. capacity for recognition What will we do together? Cooperation, coordination, solidarity Together as a group on a project to develop and implement
Specifically:
What do we want? The largest numbers of speakers spoke about the notion of participatory democracy and less on representative democracy. The workshop was held in a cordial debate and expression of diverse opinions Besides the oral contributions and proposals that emerged from the workshop two papers written by Roger on partnership and another on the Travellers have fueled the debate.
What do we do? and what will we do together?
We want A world of peace, justice, freedom, democracy, a fraternal world, respectful of human rights, develop a range of thought. What do we do? People are involved:
Together, we propose, based on the commitment, the autonomy of thought in connection with the spirit of justice
These four actions will build on the information network RITIMO. Closing Forum Some people have even expressed to emphasize the need for networking, but also to remember that living conditions, particularly in Zagora, are hardly favorable. An official of the Youth Action thanked all participants for having been listened to by other citizens of the world and have participated in this meeting. Joel Labbé has expressed its willingness, as mayor of a commune world and make every effort at the local level for better problem solving and for a better balance between humans: we must pass the land in good condition. Then Shahid Ahmed, closed the meeting day: "it is not over, it's a start" Sunday, November 7 |
