Study Circle PER1 (Juan Carlos Vargas)

Why the International Solidarity ?

Dear friends :

It is nice to take contact with all of you again. We have had two last session very interesting. We mantained our group, although three people was absent last session. Some of them had activities out of Lima. The sprit is high and there is a big compromise with the group. We appreciate all your opinions.

Hong Kong´s affair has been the main economic fact during last week. We always begin our sessions talking about facts relationed with our course. All our economies and the stock markets were affected by crisis in Asia. The negative effects of Globalisation can be analysed when we watch Hong Kong crisis.

Activities

In this session we work two points. First, We talked about the information about the TNC our group had chosen to research. We got many a good information about this TNC. We have got a Telefonica , a Spanish Telecommunications TNC. We built two groups We will inform you about it with more details forward. We did a brief evaluation of our job. The main conclusions were :

• Internet is a powerful tool to research the TNC´s
• The participants had problems to access a personal computer. They only use PLADES computer.
• The participants had problems to manage the computer and the software. They required PLADES support to looking for information in Internet.
• We had problems to coordinate our activities and times, then We had a inequal participation in the groups
• WE think It was right to search a Spanish TNC because we won´t have problems with the languages..

The second point was about Why is important The Solidarity International ?

The main ideas about it in our brainstorm were :

• Let know about other realities, possible solutions, etc..
• Individually weak collectively strong.
• Contribute to build local organizations
• International Solidarity with locals strategic plans.
• Combine interests
• Let a best election through of a best information
• Participative actions for the social change
• It is necessary to establish relations with different organizations around the world.
• We have to show to communicate our realities.
• There is sensibility in the world. There are sensitive organizations and persons that are ready to be join us.
• The Solidarity International take time. It is a process. We have to begin now.

These are the main ideas during our last meeting. We enjoyed our meeting. We smiled and laughed between us. We share a typical plate after our session 5. We have to finished the research about our TNC.

We hope to share more information in the next session. .

Regards from Peruvian Study Circle.
