PAJU INVITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN  
THE FIRST QUEBEC SOCIAL FORUM! 
AUGUST 23-26 2007 â UQAM / PARC  EMILIE-GAMELIN 
Inspired by world social forums, the Quebec Social Forum (FSQ) has been  
created to bring together people working for justice, democracy and solidarity. 
 
The FSQ will be a place to share ideas and debate. It will create and promote  
alternatives and the convergence of social movements. Its goal is to bring 
about  a different and better world.  
A participatory agenda 
Thousands of people are expected to attend this important event. The FSQ will 
 feature close to 400 activities that have been proposed by the participants  
themselves. All of the activities have been planned around eight themes,  
including human rights, the struggle for equality, the environment, public  
services, the world of labour, democracy and international solidarity.  
The Forum begins on August 23 with a multidisciplinary grand opening,  
followed by two days of debates, conferences and workshops featuring 
discussions  of 
vital topics. There will be artistic events, kiosques and activities  
promoting alternatives. And everything will culminate in a massive 
demonstration  / 
march. There will be something for everyone! 
A complete cultural program will be presented in several locations, including 
 UQAM, Park Emilie-Gamelin and the FSQ Cabaret. A full range of socially  
committed artistic performances will be presented.  
A workshop entitled "Prospects for Peace in Palestine" will be  presented by 
PAJU on Saturday, August 25, 2007 at UQAM in the Hubert Aquin  Pavilion, Room 
A-M 050 at 4:00 PM. PAJU Co-Presidents Bruce Katz and Rezeq Faraj  will lead
