Confronted with the profound changes engendered by globalisation - a source of both great risk and opportunities - we believe that it is time to foster the emergence of new models for reflection and action, to invent new guidelines, to explore new ways for promoting a proactive approach combining economic and social dimensions in a more balanced way.
The City of Lyon, the Greater Lyon Urban Community and the Rhône-Alpes Regional Council are organising the International Economic and Social Forum which will take place in Lyon from October 25th to 28th, 2006.
The Forum seeks to create a vibrant arena for exchange and debate, in order to capitalise on innovations in the economic and social realms. Organised in partnership with other territories from various regions of the globe, the Forum will aim at reflecting together on building a world that combines prosperity and solidarity. The Forum will be structured around two main guiding principles:
- to bring together all the actors concerned by globalisation issues: stakeholders of the business world, trade unions, representatives of civil society, research institutes and local authorities, as well as international institutions,
- to organise the debates around the actors exchanges on experiences and analysis of practices,
- to highlight the role of cities and territories as key actors in the debate on globalisation and to foster cooperation between them
The debates will be organised around 3 major themes:
· What kind of global chain of trade for fair development?
· Corporate responsibility: governance and financing of fair development
· Making local areas active partners in globalisation
