Latin America Week 2007 focuses on:"Learning from Latin America. Alternatives to water privatization." The theme is a result of LASC intensive work on the water issue through the active participation in the social encounter "Enlazando Alternativas 2" in summer 2006 in Vienna and in "Blue October 2007", an international month of action to challenge corporate control of water and to protect water as a shared natural resource available to all.
