Methodology
The World Social Forum 2005 aims, in terms of its internal organization, to articulate the myriad of initiatives organized by its participants. To do so, The "World Social Territory ", that is to say the site of the Forum, will be itself divided into eleven "Terrains" in order to give body to the new format of the Forum. Within every Terrain, every evening of the Forum, the rooms will be free from 5 to 8 p.m., to allow everyone to put to the floor what was said during the day and to try to draw up proposals or action plans collectively. The evening meetings will also make it possible to link up with that which is happening in the other Terrains.

Success and Weaknesses of the Consultation That Served to Determine the Format of the WSF
