Dear friends,

We inform you that during the first week of May 2006 the European Social Forum will take place in Athens. At the same time the open assembly for the creation of the "Autonomous Spaces" / Open Public Ephemeral Zone will use a university space in the centre of Athens and will produce an ephemeral autonomous zone that will try to bring together all the grassroots anticapitalist, autonomous and antiauthoritarian collectives, groups and movements. We will try all of us to co-create an open public space that will give the opportunity to all the libertarian radical utopians, the anarchists, the antiauthoritarians, the libertarian communists, the green anarchists, the antisystemic Marxists, the anarchoprimitivists, the squats, the social centers and all anti-hierarchical collectives from any lineage of the modern libertarian thinking - action to present their work, express their ideas , and come to public dialogue with the other collectives and the global society. This is an open invitation for all the creative political and cultural affinity groups and personal initiatives to participate in the construction of the zone and the formation of the social and political
agenda.

You can send your propositions to take part in the general program of the festival until 15th of March.

We would like to let you know that this congregation will give us the opportunity to create an antiauthoritarian autonomous zone and express our ideas in a friendly environment. It is also provided the ability to each collective to organize and decorate its own space, prepare and present its own lectures or documentary shows and participate to the general assemblies and forums.

We announce below the thematic issues of the assemblies and the forums and we wait from you the expansion and the enrichment of this catalogue with your own propositions:

Work
Immigration
City movements and Ecology
Suppression
International Movements and New Technologies
Social Centers , Squatting
Direct Action
Sexism and Homophobia
Libertarian , Anarchist and Antiauthoritarian Ontology
Contemporary Every Day Life and Future Social and Cultural Movements
General Assembly: Autonomous - Anticapitalistic Space and Antiglobalization Movement

The whole procedure according to the preparations until now will take place on five phases (more ideas can be organized and much more actions can take place through the expression of initiative):

a) Autonomous Spaces / An Open Public Ephemeral Zone / Athens 4-7 May 2006

Four days of open public dialogue, networking of information, lectures, info-centres , books or pamphlets exhibition, live internet shows, filmshows and documentary video projections and open celebrative public situations

b) Action of Solidarity and Social awareness outside of Immigrant's Concentration Camp

c) Actions of Social awareness at the City Market and other Working spaces

d) Meetings, talking circles and workshops at the social centers of Athens

e) Total Freedom Street Parade / organized by Void Network

An open invitation from Void Network to all the anarcho-ravers, the technival sound-systems, the psychedelic trancers, the space travelers to built a global celebration of social awareness in the streets of Athens that will send in all over world the message of the fight for Total Freedom

We believe that it would be very helpful any collective which would like to take part in this festival to prepare for traveling, to prepare their lectures, and to help with the publicity networking.

According to the economical difficulties of some collectives we can understand that some of them they can not organize the traveling in Athens, so we offer to them the opportunity to participate and express their ideas through books or pamphlets exhibition that they can send to the Creative Crew of the situation, or to appear in the situation through live internet shows, film shows and documentary video projections

We look forward for any reply from you as soon as possible.

Thank you,

People from the open assembly for the creation of "Autonomous Spaces"
