Free School is a self-organized, community-driven experiment in participatory and liberatory education. Through it, we seek to connect skill and knowledge-sharing with local struggles for social justice. We all have something to learn, we all have something to teach, so it is our passions, values, and curiosity that guide the curriculum and sculpt the future of our community. Come join us.
The 2016 Halifax Free School will take place on March 5 and 6, 2016. We are planning to offer workshops, film screenings, a zine fair, good food, an evening social, and lots of opportunities to build connections with other folks and other grassroots social justice initiatives.
What: Halifax Free School - a free two-day grassroots, open, democratic gathering where everyone can participate in or offer a class or a workshop to share skills and knowledge.
Why: To teach and learn together, to connect our struggles and aspirations for social change and social justice.
