WW meets Constellation – The Gap between the Rich and the Poor
Lena Aslanidou, Ruth Sander, Lily Vassiliou
Nowadays the poor become poorer and poorer, the rich richer and richer. The global financial system contributes to this with a monetary system based on creating money through debt, as does the reign of Friedman’s “free market” idea – a society in which profit and the market run every aspect of life. In theory, inequality doesn’t matter as long as markets work efficiently and economies are growing so that everyone is getting more. The on-going global financial crisis however highlights the unsustainable nature of this growing disparity. People around the world are exploring on a small scale new economic systems: new monetary systems such as time banks, ethical banking, banks for the poor, micro loans, etc., which are becoming more and more of a practice today. The concept of money and the values that govern our relationship to it are changing. Where are we heading? Can we influence politics and economics? What is our vision? We will explore these questions with two different methods: the more structured of ‘Politics in Space’ and the more spontaneous of Worldwork.
Worldwork in Action: Greece, South Africa, USA – The global Impact of Saturday’s Open Forum
Lane Arye, Alexandra Vassiliou, Zed Xaba
This workshop provides an opportunity to see and experience Worldwork in action. Participants will have an opportunity to voice their feelings and reactions to last night’s more linear Open Forum, and explore how the issues that were raised are non-local, affecting us all. We will deepen and have an interaction between the various roles and ghost roles. We will notice when rank, power and privilege arise in all their complexity. When polarizations arise, we will keep the attitude that “all sides know best,” trusting the group and its wisdom. We will acknowledge momentary stuckness, and look for solutions that naturally arise from the process itself.
