2003, 2004 : A facilitation Committee was born in Chile par Carlos LIBERONA Activities – first steps | ||
We started developing the programme in Chile in October 2003, given that it is very difficult to begin in January, which corresponds to a period when activities stop rather than start. 10.16. 2003 Workshop on Organisation, with the participation of environmentalists, Human Rights defenders, Unions, youth, academics ; we have proposed a New Social Pact for Chile, focused on the CHARTER OF HUMAN RESPONSIBILITIES. 10.25.2003 Meeting with schools and academic sectors ; we have created the first group of facilitators of the Charter 01 11 to to 01.15.2003 Preparation and beginning of the campaign :
11.24.2003 Beginning of regional campaign of support ; this meeting has gathered environmentalists, youths, farmers and women ; it took place in Puren, 500 km from Santiago. 12.05.2003 In the Chamber of Deputies, located in Santiago, we have launched the National Forum of Rights and Responsibilities of the Migrants, with the participation of some 100 delegates. It was decided to create a Charter of responsibilities specific to the migrants. 01.24.2004 With the already working Facilitation committee was launched the National Assembly of the New Social Pact, which allowed a better organized process to build up a reflection and a support to the Charter. This assembly was known as the Social Assembly for Rights and Responsibilities. In February 2004 we have evaluated the activities and we realized that there would be changes in the budgets ; from there, we started to try adapting our activities and modifying the priorities. The process was maintained in the original agenda, however we emphasized our effort in reinforcing the commitment of active small groups with the Charter. Publications Concerning the diffusion we have made a change : besides printing 1000 folders on which we copied the proposal of our friend of the Committee from Togo, in Spanish of course, we have prepared the following series of Notebooks : 1. Notebooks of Reflection N°1 - made by Academics (1000 copies)
This work guaranties the continuity of the reflection and the construction of a support of the Charter. Seminars We have organized the following seminars : Students and Human Responsibilities
Achievements We believe that the objective of creating a Facilitation Committee diffusion is achieved, and our work is being reinforced.
We want to go on communicating with all the Committe and partners. We have built, step by step, a nucleus of persons committed to the Charter, in different sectors, we intend to enroot the Charter in Chile, enriching it by the contribution of diverse sectors, and it works ; still we continue to focus the South Cone. |
