Seminar on Sept 18 2008, in Malmo, Sweden in the framework of the European Social Forum. Goals of the seminar:

* Begin to debate, discuss and develop a theory of alternative economic activity and work.

* Focus on critiquing the most significant, complete and illustrative examples from ’concrete’, existing alternative economic activities.

* Propose and consider new and alternative roles for compatible social, representative and coordinating functions now delivered or suppressed by the state, the corporations/financial institutions and the labor unions.

* Make plans to develop a global network for ongoing reciprocal support and exchanges of resources and experiences.

* Lay the foundation for analogous activities to be presented at the WSF in Belem, Brazil.
