In this week's session of Radical Sunday School, we'll be opening up the conversation to people who've never been to RSS before! (And of course, we'd love to see familiar faces as well :) ) In the first of what we hope to be a series of open session, we'd like to include everyone in the kinds of discussions we've been having within our collective. For example:

• What exactly is the difference between a "brave" and a "safer" space? What does that mean in a learning environment?
• How do we attract new people to our sessions?
• What exactly are our perspectives on mainstream education and academia?

We'd love anyone who's ever been curious about what radical education can look like to stop by for a more laid-back, joyful reflection on these kinds of ideas, and whatever else you want to know!

-----------------

The formal education system affects us all. Not only are we forced to attend schools growing up, but academic research shapes our governments, our news, and how we view the world around us. As much as many of us want to believe in the promise of institutional education, the sad fact is that our schools and universities are undemocratic and elitist. They perpetuate inequalities instead of giving people the tools to fight them. This world is fucked.

Here at Radical Sunday School, though, we know that another world is possible. Everyone should be able to direct their own learning, to grow together with their communities, and to live as though they’re already free. There are countless examples of movements already putting these ideas into practice. This collective is trying to follow in their footsteps, organizing to explore new ways of learning based on principles of autonomy, mutual aid, and egalitarianism.

This is not intended to be a course that you would have to follow all the way through. Jump in and out whenever you like. Sessions will be held every Sunday at Joe's Garage.

Doors open at 17.30, we start sharp at 18.00!
