You and your organization can prepare from a distance an action taking place on your city, neighborhood, school or workplace, aiming to take part at the 2011 WSF, even not physically present in Dakar. In case you are interested, please write to facilit.espaco...@gmail.com with the following information: Location, Date, Time, Proposing Organization, Contact Person, Theme, Activity's format. For more information: http://openfsm.net/projects/dakar-etendu/invit/#EN   Interpreters A strong team of local African language volunteers is presently being recruited and will be trained in Dakar. We will also need a number of experienced and professional interpreters from outside Senegal for other languages. The list of required languages will be compiled from the list of speakers and the requests of the participant delegations, but will mainly be French, English, Portuguese, Spanish and Arabic. Due to budgetary constraints, we can only select volunteers from Africa and Europe. Tickets from the Americas or Asia are unfortunately too expensive. In accordance with Babels rules, we will ensure there is a balance of experienced and first-time interpreters in the booths. The selection process will also be transparent and inclusive. We will document every step of the selection process and report on it publicly, via the Babels forum and mailing list. Availability: we will be organizing training sessions for community interpreters prior to the Forum. If you can come earlier to help with this training, with the additional forums or general logistic tasks please tell us. The WSF-OC will pay for your ticket and accommodation. There will be a per diem of 15000 cfa/day (22€) to cover your food and transport (which will cost less than that). Accommodation will probably be in shared flats. More information on logistics will be provided later on. If you are interested in participating, please go to the following URL: http://goo.gl/KV1me and fill out the form. We will contact you shortly to confirm your registration. If you are selected, we will inform you as early as possible. Please send your answers to logis...@wsf2011.org   Volunteers The Organizing Committee of the 2011 World Social Forum, to be held on February 6-11, in Dakar (Senegal) is making a call for people who wish to volunteer at the event. Apart from Senegal, people from neighboring countries (Gambia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Mali, Mauritania), but groups from Europe, Americas, Asia etc are also expected. It will be given priority to those who are interested in volunteering and speak French and English fluently. For those who do not live in Dakar, the Committee cannot cover any travel or accommodation expenses. Click here to download the volunteer registration form.
