at PSAC building, JK Wlyie boardroom (first floor)

Thinking about liberating education!
How can we overcoming the domesticating and confining education we experience everyday in our major institutions and media? What does a truly liberating education look like and how do we engage with it? Come and share your thoughts and experiences.
In our contemporary culture, learning how to learn and how to think independently is just as important as mastering any particular technical skill.
And to learn the things we do need, we need to learn to find (or create) opportunities and spaces outside of the traditional institutions and approaches that have ‘taught’ us how to be ourselves.
This event will offer the opportunity to explore ways of learning – based on our experiences and our aspirations – and discussing what is being done (or could be) in the community to facilitate an ongoing connected process of individual and community learning.
Edge-u-cation is being held in dozens of cities throughout the world as part of the Evolver.net ‘spores’ network:
