[cma-l] Fwd: Radio and Public Media Forum in Lima during EU-LAC

[CMA-L]

Call for participation in the Radio and Public Media Forum

Lima, Perú
May 10 to 16 – 2008

Between the 13th and 16th of May, the Fifth Summit of European
Union-Latin America and Caribbean (EU-LAC) Heads of State will be held
in Lima, Peru. Parallel to the official meeting, social movements and
non-governmental organizations from Latin America, Europe and the
Caribbean will gather in an alternative event, namely "Enlazando
Alternativas 3: Cumbre de los pueblos" (Linking Alternatives 3:
Peoples' Summit).

During the four days of this alternative meeting, participants will
discuss, among other issues, EU-Latin America free trade agreements,
the ongoing implementation of a neo-liberal economic model and
development policies proposed by the EU. Along these same lines,
social movements will aim to integrate alternative global agendas, in
accordance with proposals that lie closer to the majorities of all
peoples.

During the event, a Peoples' Tribunal (PT) will be held with the
objective of calling into justice the power system of European
multinationals  operating in Latin America, as well as in their
countries of origin.

Alternative Media Forum, Lima 2008

Between May 10 and 16, the Alternative Media Forum will be carried out
with the support of Enlazando Alternativas 3 and a number of
independent media of Peru, Latin America and Europe. This event for
communicational coverage and exchange has been held previously with
great success in important meetings, such as the Third Summit of the
Peoples in Mar de Plata, Argentina, the Fourth World Social Forum in
Caracas, and Enlazando Alternativas 2 in Viena, Austria.

From May 10 to 12, Peruvian social movements will carry out activities
and mobilizations that precede the summits; from May 13 to 16, the
common media coverage of the Peoples' Summit, Enlazando Alternativas
3, will take place.

We cordially invite all independent media from Latin America, Europe
and around the World to join in the coverage and reporting of the
Peoples' Summit in Lima.

Radio Forum

The Radio Forum is an initiative of technological convergence which
brings together community radio initiatives, networks and other actors
involved in New Technologies (NTs), thereby consolidating an
information exchange project regarding diverse-format,  free
information production. The Forum thus contributes to strengthen
cooperation ties between radio projects from around the World through
the strategic use of NTs, and itself constitutes a common space for
world alternative media.

The event will be transmitted live in FM and Internet streaming from a
studio located in the heart of the social summit. Programming will be
continuous, collaborative and multi-lingual through
http://www.foroderadios.fm.  Simultaneously, meetings, debates and
exchanges of experiences in social resistance and alternative media
development will be carried out.
We invite all organizations with experience in radio to participate in
this event, in order to strengthen a space that is slowly
consolidating into the voice of those peoples and social movements in
Latina America and Europa who fight for a world of justice.

How to participate?
All interested radios, individuals and initiatives involved in
audio-visual media and communication can joined the common program
between May 10 and 16 in Lima. The Alternative Media Forum is an
initiative for collective participation, self- supporting and
independent.
