GlobalAware.org

We are a small but incredibly diverse organization. We combine expertise in alternative media with a commitment to raising awareness of social and environmental justice issues. Our text, photo and video databases have become a resource and indispensable tool for activists and organisations from around the world. Our media professionals produce exhibitions, websites and media material to raise awareness on some of the most important issues of our time. Much of this work is contributed on a voluntary basis. We believe that only cooperation and collaboration throughout the social justice community will lead to real change and a sustainable future.

The Abolition of Work

No one should ever work. Work is the source of nearly all the misery in the world. Almost all the evil you'd care to name comes from working or from living in a world designed for work. In order to stop suffering, we have to stop working. That doesn't mean we have to stop doing things. It does mean creating a new way of life based on play; in other words, a ludic revolution. By "play" I mean also festivity, creativity, conviviality, commensality, and maybe even art. There is more to play than child's play, as worthy as that is. I call for a collective adventure in generalized joy and freely interdependent exuberance.
