What if 51,000 people from 131 countries put their heads together to discuss what is wrong with the world and how to work together to change it? In early 2002, in Puerto Alegre, Brazil public officials, representatives of non-governmental organizations, indigenous nations, farmers, and labor, including 11,000 young people, gathered for the World Social Forum. Called in response to the elite gathering of the World Economic Forum, this week of workshops, panel discussions, and high-spirited demonstrations was inspirational for those attending.
