Live Streaming and Detroit Expanded
We believe the progressive movement of the United States should not assume to expand its reach by merely projecting its events to the world, but engage in meaningful collaboration with global struggle through robust and horizontal communication.
The Detroit Expanded effort, led by the Culture and ICT working groups, creates a virtual open space for workshop organizers similar to the social forum self-organized space. This includes not only to provide a broadcast of events using a live streaming format, but to encourage exchange between communities by providing feedback mechanisms, live chat and microblogging, and video conferencing.
Both the Live Stream and Detroit Expanded schedules have been thoughtfully selected to reflect the politics and organizing efforts of the local and national USSF organizers through collaboration with Language Justice, Communications, Poverty, Indigenous, Culture, and Program Working Groups. All live streams will be archived and available on-demand and displayed on the online media website as official USSF media, alongside audio recordings of daily briefings and email blasts.
This work is built upon previous forums and summits including the Belem Expanded program of the WSF 2009 and live streaming initiative of the People's Climate Conference in Bolivia, 2010. Future plans to maintain the continuity and building potential of this work include similar projects for the World Education Forum in Palestine, Fall 2010, COP16 mobilizations this winter, and the WSF 2011 in Senegal.
Live Video Streaming Schedule
There are four main elements to the daily, 10-hour schedule: Culture events, Detroit Expanded workshops, Detroit Highlighted workshops, and official USSF-programmed events.
Culture events have been scheduled by the Culture working group.
The complete Detroit Expanded schedule consists of 50 workshops, including live streaming video, live streaming audio, recorded video, recorded audio, and self-organized conferencing, representing at all 14 tracks congruent to the entire workshop program and reaching
Four Detroit Highlighted workshops will be featured on Saturday morning and have been scheduled by DLOC members.
Finally, all official USSF-organized events such as opening march and ceremony, plenaries, all-forum People's Movement Assembly, and closing ceremony will be live streamed in both English and Spanish.
