About openspace-announce	English (USA)
CACIM -- the India Institute for critical Action : Centre in Movement -- proposes to be a hub within transnational networks among people and organisations located in different parts of the world. Its goal is to support and encourage activists, students, researchers, professionals, artistes, and thinkers, young and more mature, and both those belonging to the so-called 'civil' and also those excluded from this, belonging to the popular and 'incivil' worlds, who are involved in different ways with 'movement', in their individual work and also to network and work together. CACIM is registered in India as a non-profit company. But, although based in one country, it will be transnationalist, 'global', and open in spirit and concern. At another level, our goal will be to develop and to conduct CACIM as a loose, flexible, responsive, and lightweight organisation, reflecting and manifesting its principles. The principles that underlie CACIM's work are criticality, transnationalism and transcommunality, and engagement -- and at all times, and in many ways, a focus on movement. We hope to articulate criticality through a focus on critical reflection and thought, and a spirit of self-reflexivity; critical action; and critical pedagogy. CACIM's work will also be based on and informed by the interrelated principles of voluntarism, mutual aid, and solidarity. One aim and aspect of the application of CACIM's principles will be with respect to the question of the social and political dimensions of resource mobilisation for public work. We propose to open public debate in this critical area, and hope to be able to progressively define principles that can inform our own work and public work more generally. We plan here to take full advantage of the rich tradition in India of debate and controversy in this area. Over the next period, CACIM expects to have three main areas of activity: Strategies and Cultures of 'Movement', Information Culture Technology, and Building Bridges.
