As pandemic safety measures are shifting we are excited to relaunch a not entirely new, not all too different version of Free Skool Santa Cruz – a project in mutual aid learning and sharing. Help spread the word!!! Class info available here and at links below (coming soon).
What skills do you have to share? What types of classes would help grow more vibrant and self-reliant communities?
A radically different approach to living and learning, Free Skool Santa Cruz is a grassroots educational project beyond institutional control. It is an opportunity to learn from each other and share what we know, to foster communities of mutual support and autonomy.
What does the “free” in Free Skool mean? Free as in free expression, free thought, and liberation. We try to keep Free Skool firmly fixed in a gift economy and outside the stream of commerce. While some teachers may ask for a donation to cover materials, no one is turned away for lack of funds.
We see Free Skool as a direct challenge to dominant institutions and hierarchical relationships. The project strives to blur the lines between teacher, learner, and organizer. Free Skool is decentralized, with classes held in social spaces and parks.Part of creating a new world is resistance to the old one. Through this project, we want to change the way we learn and the way we relate to each other.
Our summer calendar will run from the summer solstice (June 20th) to the autumnal equinox (Sept 22). We will have two rounds of submission deadlines to add your class to our calendar. Second opportunity to contribute to Summer Session will be in late July. All classes will follow the recommended covid precautions.
