*1) World Social Forum Global Day of Action Evalution *

If you organised an event during the Global Day of Action (GDA) on January
26, *please answer the following questions and send them to
report at wsf2008.net.* Let's gather reports from all around the world to
consolidate the picture of what happened this day.

1) What event did you organise? How did it go? (What? demonstration,
conference, concert, etc. / Where? / how many people participated / do you
consider it a success?)

2) Did you manage to reach new people? Did people understand it was part of
a global action and not an isolated event? (direct participants and also the
general public)

3) Did you co-organise your event with other groups? if yes do you plan to
work again with these groups?

4) Did your local media talk about your event? (mainstream media and also
alternative media)

5) Would you organise another event as part of a GDA? If yes what could the
WSF network do to help you? If no, why?
