* Seminar description: The techno-tools provided
by the Social Forums seems to have limited
success. The goal of this seminar is to reflect
on the strategy of Social Forums regarding
technology and knowledge and to analyze and
learn from the distinctive organizational form

new technology, such as Wikipedia and the
Open/Free Software projects. Members of the
Communications and web working groups of
different Social Forums will be present together
with people connected to the experiences of
technological innovation and the Free Culture
movements and movements for the universal access
to knowledge. Results from research developed on
the area will also be presented and discuss.
The methodology of the seminar will be a
collective conversation and discussion where all
participants play an active role.
