A Call for Affinity Groups for the European Feminist Forum
Deadline for Applications: 15 December 2006
by Gisela Dütting, Affinity Groups Coordinator, European Feminist Forum 2007
The European Feminist Forum (EFF) is a space for discussions on how to re-politicise the feminist movement in Europe and to explore feminist agendas needed in today’s Europe. EFF aims to engage all interested in a broad forum on key issues for feminists across Europe, however they wish to define Europe. EFF aims to build collectively a programme for a revitalised feminism in Europe through an on-going process leading to a European-wide face-to-face meeting in Central Europe that will launch renewed feminist political engagement in all of Europe. The main vehicle to launch this initiative is affinity groups as a non hierarchical, open and participatory and innovative process to explore topics EFF participants see as key to their political vision as feminists.
We are currently calling for topics and coordinators of up to 15 affinity groups. Affinity groups are invited to work in which ever medium they chose, in cyberspace, face-to-face meetings, across all European countries, within one country, in which ever language and media. The affinity groups findings set the agenda for EFF in the future. In the next months the outcomes of affinity group discussions and activities will shape the face-to-face meeting of the European Feminist Forum planned to take place in a Central European country September 2007.
Please contact us for any further information on affinity groups or any aspect of the EFF process.

I wonder how a BDSM affinity group would go down.
