The FSQ programming belongs to the organizations, collectivities and citizens who participate in the event. The hundreds of workshops offered will be run by members of civil society who have something to say, to share, to propose. This democratic system of participant-managed programming allows the Quebec Social Forum to assume its role as a public space that is open, participatory and inclusive.

The two intersecting themes and nine thematic axes serve to guide the discussions and exchanges during the many workshops offered. They represent broader issues that we feel it is essential to discuss during the 2009 Quebec Social Forum.

Workshops will be offered in 4 timeslots of 1 hour 45 minutes each.
