I am very happy to be participating in this group. For the first time I'm
part of a forum where we can speak with people of several languages, giving
me a sensation of integration for a world indeed without borders.
My interests are dedicated to youth and the so-called third sector. I am
dedicated to several projects for the set up of juvenile organizations in
Brazil, in the federal, regional and municipal scales. I have participated
in several meetings and seminars on this topic since I was 20 years old,
when I did my university studies in Barcelona. It was there where I realized
that I should participate actively in the construction of a united world.
In Brazil there are many difficulties and social inequality is enormous. At
the same time, I have the optimism to believe that from here, or Latin
America, or Africa, will come innovative forms of social conviviality and
experiences of solidarity.
Too many times I read something about a mistaken vision from European
countries or from the USA, with reports having good intentions, but using
old paradigms to solve our problems.
I believe that the globalization of the peoples, with the solidarity for
just one world without borders, is the only way out. We already have many
ideas and efforts in our respective countries, so we all need just to become
friends. The environmentalists, and their discourse of "act locally and
think globally" reached, in my opinion, the definition of what it should be
done: to understand globalization not only through bad market aspects but
also in the virtues of a world supported by reciprocity. This is what some
call a GLOCAL attitude.
I would like to say that I loved to know about the persons that have been
introducing themselves.
Big hugs, for a world without borders,
Marcelo Estraviz
