‘Our task is not to overthrow globalisation, but to capture it, and to use it as a vehicle for humanity’s first global democratic revolution.’

‘Nuestra tarea no es derrocar la globalizacion, si no capturarla y utilizarla como el vehiculo para lanzar la primera revolucion democratica de la humanidad’
from ‘The Age of Consent’, by George Monbiot

Positive Global Movements started with a 6 day event at Rampart Social Creative Centre and part of the Creative Forum in St.George’s theatre.

Globalisation, in the hands of the corporations, is a means of colonising the new territories opened up by communication technology. In the hand of the people, it can be a medium to unite and put to work new global laws that preserve the livelihood of the people instead of securing profit for inhuman corporations.
