THE WORLD FORUM
The first-ever Global Forum on Democratizing Work, on 5–7 October 2021, will allow us to build the future of the #DemocratizingWork movement together, across geographical and disciplinary boundaries.
The Global Forum will gather participants from universities, trade unions, progressive businesses, public institutions, environmental and human rights NGOs, the media. Beyond these communities, activists or concerned citizens who are interested in the message encapsulated in the manifesto is welcome. With such a transdisciplinary exchange of perspectives, we hope to fuel a productive and inclusive learning process about the Manifesto’s principles.
Participants will have the opportunity not only to attend sessions with prominent figures whose work focuses on the three core principles (DEMOCRATIZE, DECOMMODIFY, DECARBONIZE), but also to discuss ideas and initiatives in smaller groups, based on common but diverse interests, paving the way towards orchestration.
LE CRIMT PRÉSENT AU FORUM MONDIAL SUR LA DÉMOCRATISATION DU TRAVAIL
The Interuniversity Research Centre on Globalization and Work (CRIMT), as part of its International Partnership on Institutional Experimentation for Better Work, is joining the Global Forum by holding four sessions that will benefit from the expertise of the Centre’s researchers. They are presented below and in more detail in an accompanying brochure.
