Firenze: MEETING ON CITIZENSHIP INCOME multibattito - 04.11.2002 15:20
FIRENZE: 8th november, 12.30/13.00 A.M., in the HUB SPACE, Piazza libertà: MEETING ON CITIZENSHIP INCOME. It's hard to find a name for this meeting. Language is old, linear, schematic, it does not take into account the variants and the different experiences. We have called it "multibate", just like a multi-beat, that is the beating of many hearts. In only two days we would like to explain the attempts in carrying on the struggle for citizenship income and, most of all, the difficulties encountered; the research work performed and the opinions of many different workers, either hired or not, working or jobless, in training or self-training, Europeans and non-Europeans. We would like to talk about all those things that can be done together and how to build up connectins, social communication and cooperation, starting from the wishes and the needs of a citizenship income. We would like to tell you what is happening in the small and big territories we are living in so that we can come across a territory that is as vast as, at least, Europe. Furthermore, we would like to compare the rights and the guaranties that social struggles have achieved over many years in different countries. We would like to know better the European laws and welfare, not to propose a new law but to submit a number of proposals which are connected by means of the information we are going to exchange. This meeting will not end with any decision to be voted, any democratic majority or minority or with any political struggle to enforce one's own position, it will end with a kind goodbye and many different options and opinions to be compared. If you believe can be of any interes to you, you are invited to be part of this meeting, take along your sleeping gear and join the meeting with your experience, your hopes, and what you know about this issue. The topic will not be if citizenship income is right or wrong, but what can be done to obtain it. In order to prepare and discuss about the multi-beat on citizenship income we invite all European organizations and single persons to join the meeting which will be held during the European Social Forum taking place in Florence. The meeting is: 8th November, from the 12.30/13.00 in the Hub Space, Piazza Libertà Firenze. For info: www.redditodicittadinanza.org and http.//hypermail.redditodicittadinanza.org/ |
