Attac Europe Strategy
Contacts : Hugo Braun braun@attac.de
Jean-Marie Coen jean-marie.coen@skynet.be
Goal :
This workshop intends to discuss "How to organise our European Attac Network and our communication tools"
The result of its proposals will be discussed by all on the Sunday general session.
Outcome :
In order to coordinate joint actions, common thinking and expression in press and social network interconnection on european and international level, the above timeframe has emerged from dicussions and exchanges during the attacEurope strategy workshop on Friday, September 18th 2009 at the University of Nanterre in Paris.
Two events annualy should be lifted onto supranational level. On the one hand so as to leaving enough space for local actions and on the other hand to allow a continuous building up of a common identiy of all attacEurope members.
For information flows regarding every particular event to reach all attac chapters throughout Europe and the world, the corresponding national or local chapter to an event should feel responsible of communicating
organizational details, for example the need of (more) (international) forces, the actual state of organization and so on. Goal should always be to take advantage of all synergies existing in the network.
Apart from the time frame, all chapters are asked to actively engage themselves in knowledge sharing through the new participative website www.attac.org.
