The Brazilian Workgroup in charge of preparing the events on "Solidarity Economy", proposed to the main national and international networks to participate in an International Network of Promoters for the World Social Forum III.

To enable a better communication, the WSSE facilitated, as last year, an electronic forum in French, English, Spanish and Portuguese, with a strong Brazilian and French participation, but also with participants of several countries of Latin America (Argentineans, Chileans, Columbians, Mexicans, Peruvians), of North America (Canadians (especially Quebecois), United States), of Europe (Belgians, Spaniards, Dutchman, Italian), of Africa (Beninese, Cameroonian, Senegalese) and of Asia (India, Malaysie, Philippines).

The Promoters Network could thus organize a common program including:

The process of synthesis was the subject of a collective work particularly well coordinated. For each topic there was a working group, then a group gathering the representatives of every topic and an overall team of synthesis, that worked a half-day before the final round table.

The general summary of the events on the economy of solidarity was presented by Carola Reintjes and Marcos Arruda, at the time of the Panel of Synthesis of the first of the 5 main themes (Axis 1) of the WSF "Democratic and sustainable development", animated by Walden Bello.
