Changing the whole system while running is one of the meanings of make world.

By any means linking up, making connections, finding new approaches in order to bring together what's developed in so many places, simultanously, independently and autonomously.

We all know, that there is no common perspective, what is been struggling against and what they have fought for. There won't be a common ground, but there is a multitude of perspectives. Therefore it's more important than ever to meet.

The overal goal of this event is going far beyond theory and practices: Inventing new possibilities for life, regain subjectivity and talk about what we're doing and why.

We received many feed-back, what make world may mean and what not.

It's a command, it's a chance, it's a try. It's meant as the opposite of mac world, the very known and bad notion of globalization. Make world refers to Power not as command, authority and souvereignty, but power as a creative, innovative and constructive force: power as world-making.

Make world is work in progress. Beyond this weekend we hope to continue this project as a platform. Once we all have met, we may truly communicate through a variety of channels and we really hope that many concrete initiatives, common ideas, and all sort of exchange will evolve.
