The program was debating, participatory and<br \/>\nfunctional. This year&#8217;s specialty was a rich coverage of games that made<br \/>\nit possible to find an adventure in a mental health club, try out asylum<br \/>\nbureaucracy and reflect on the future of society.<\/p>\n<p>An Indian documentary filmmaker, Rahul Jain, who participated in the<br \/>\nforum, said that younger he knew the disadvantages of the world but did<br \/>\nnot know that they could be solved. &#8211; Through such forums, I see that I<br \/>\nmay not be alone with my thoughts, Jain said at the conclusion of the<br \/>\nSocial Forum.<\/p>\n<p>Mohamed Sulaiman Labat, born and raised in the Western Sahara refugee<br \/>\ncamp, faced asylum seekers in the debate organized by Justice Live. The<br \/>\narrival from the Sahara deserts to Helsinki is an exotic experience. &#8211;<br \/>\nIt was touching and empowering to meet people who also fight for their<br \/>\nlives here in Finland, Mohamed said at the Finnish Social Forum&#8217;s at<br \/>\nArbis in Helsinki.<\/p>\n<p>The Social Forum was held for the seventh time. It is part of the global<br \/>\nsocial forum movement. The forum was also implemented this year mainly<br \/>\nby volunteering, a joint effort of NGOs.<\/p>\n<p>For more information:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sosiaalifoorumi.fi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=de&amp;q=http:\/\/www.sosiaalifoorumi.fi\/&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1524683885239000&amp;usg=AFQjCNG3m0YLP4vsNW_H5wrabqF5cyBS8w\">www.sosiaalifoorumi.fi<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.fi\/sosiaalifoorumi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=de&amp;q=http:\/\/www.facebook.fi\/sosiaalifoorumi&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1524683885239000&amp;usg=AFQjCNHtY-va4bjOXtc5siEh9yT2aTBlcw\">www.facebook.fi\/sosiaalifoorum<wbr \/>i<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/Sosiaalifoorum1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=de&amp;q=http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/Sosiaalifoorum1&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1524683885239000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGDoDQH_rzoGpQQSEKT9TlRIecW4A\">www.twitter.com\/Sosiaalifoorum<wbr \/>1<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sosiaalifoorumi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?hl=de&amp;q=http:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sosiaalifoorumi&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1524683885239000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGhL6ORRVXmFkTx3QRGIm2fpN_CLQ\">www.instagram.com\/sosiaalifoor<wbr \/>umi<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Finnish Social Forum consisted of a total of 60 events and brought together about 1300 participants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4671","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-afrikanischer-raum","category-sozialforumsbewegung-assembly-of-resistances"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.friedensplattform.at\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.friedensplattform.at\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.friedensplattform.at\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.friedensplattform.at\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.friedensplattform.at\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4671"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.friedensplattform.at\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4671\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4672,"href":"https:\/\/www.friedensplattform.at\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4671\/revisions\/4672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.friedensplattform.at\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.friedensplattform.at\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.friedensplattform.at\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
