CIVICUS: World Alliance for Citizen Participation would like to announce that it has extended the World Assembly call for proposals deadline for workshops/presentations or training sessions proposals to 30 October, 2003. The World Assembly will take place from 21-25 March, 2004 in Gaborone, Botswana. The main theme of the global gathering will be "Acting together for a just world". There will be four main sub-themes at the World Assembly: (1) civic justice (fuelling civic energy); (2) economic justice (livelihood insecurity: innovative solutions seeking to open doors); (3) political justice (democratising power: civic engagement in decision-making); and (4) social justice (keeping the peace or fanning the flames). Cross-cutting themes include HIV/AIDS; gender equity and equality; young people; capacity-building; and socially marginalised groups.
