Why schools are even more harmful than prisons? Can there be learning without teaching? Lecture presents criticism of the education system, experiences of an alternative school and its limits, and a few views of what learning could be at best (in anarchist context). Speaker has worked as a teacher in a street school in Mexico, school assistant in Finland and is currently doing research on normality and marginalisation in schools.
Disturbances is an open series of lectures and discussions at the crossroads of society, philosophy, history, economy and resistance.
We are already aware that we can not live as before, but we do not know what the future holds. Others are stuck in the past, but we only want to understand it. Even a small disturbance of an initial condition can lead a system into a completely different state.
Our speakers are Finnish and international anti-authoritarian researchers and activists. Events are organized in cooperation with A-ryhmä and AutOp, two student groups of the University of Helsinki. You may also follow lecture online (both real-time and recording) at http://bambuser.com/channel/A-ryhma.
Our program is created by the participants themselves, if you want to join or simply get in contact, write a-ryhma@riseup.net.
