1)Reminder of the
role of ASCOP and its ambitions
Construction of world citizenship and animation of a
citizen world at several levels through the exchange of
experiences.
- Individual registration and engagement through the
world citizen card.
- Associative: The Associations accept and adhere to
the charter of ASCOP
How?
- Disseminate globalization ideas: the people live
it, we are looking for what links us and we measure
the differences.
- 3 Facets
- Action of the organizations that communicate
with each other.
- Proper activities organized by ASCOP.
- All of this contribution to the Peoples
Congress.
ASCOP: Strength of proposals for the Peoples Congress
which then takes these strong globalist ideas to validate
and disseminate them.
2) Focus on what
exists
- Almost 60 organizations from twenty countries have
signed the Mulhouse charter.
- 35 on an appeal of 1984 which involved some twenty
active ones, mostly African. (Appeal for global
solidarity against hunger.)
Who can strengthen
ASCOP?
- We, our associations
- Permanent Globalist Committees
- Universal Movement for Scientific
Responsibility
- Association of our networks
- Globalists who share our ideas or wishing to bring
their experiences in this field (example: signatories
within the framework of the 60th anniversary of human
rights)
How?
- Send letters to propose to the associations
working in our line to join ASCOP by evaluating its
principles with the help of a membership certificate
as well as the charter
3 Focus on Finances
The membership fee which was set in 2004 was 20 euros
per year. However due to failure to appeal for
contributions, there are few contributors (currently
ten). Today, the accounts are zero, the revenue just
covering expenses.
- Appeal for contribution 2009
- Make appeal to the foundations (example
RITIMO)
