Coming just in time for the end of Sinterklaas, Radical Sunday School invites you to join us as we learn a bit about invented traditions, and the way they shape how we look at ourselves and our communities. We'll be sitting down to chat with a scholar of nationalism about not only the silly aspects of ridiculous holidays and made-up cuisine, but also the darker connections between these nationalist projects and the recent rise of the far right in Western politics. Join us this Sunday as we learn about the stories we tell ourselves, the myth of "tradition", and the joys of cultural diversity!

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

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!
