Hello All<br>
We Invite you to a forum this Saturday to look together at motivations
and practices behind various experiments in education planned for this
summer.<br>
Organised by Glasgow Open School, Glasgow People's Assemblies, the Free
Hetherington and thiscollection.<br>
Hope to see you there. Let us know if you plan to attend. Hopefully we
should have some pizza available!<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">Proposal 1: Self-organisation in
Education:<br>
with Stevphen Shukaitis and Glasgow Open School</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Saturday 30th April 6pm-8pm at the Glue
Factory, 22 Farnell Street, off Garscube Rd</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We present the first in the series of
two events aiming to bring together people interested in holding
experiments in education this Summer and anyone struggling with ideas
and practices of learning, democracy, collectivity, curatorship,
culture and knowledge production</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We aim to combine space for open
discussion of ideas and pragmatic arrangements for collaboration.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The investigations were devised by some
elements of Glasgow Open School, <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.peoplesassemblies.org/category/communities/glasgowpa/"
target="_blank">Glasgow People’s Assemblies </a>and <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.thiscollection.wordpress.com/"
target="_blank">thiscollection</a>. Stevphen Shukatis is an Editor at
Autonomedia which recently published <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.minorcompositions.info/occupationcookbook.html"
target="_blank">‘The Occupation Cookbook’</a> and collaborated with<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.edu-factory.org"
target="_blank"> Edu-Factory.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">To let us know if you plan to attend,
leave a comment below or email <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:info@glasgowopenschool.com" target="_blank">GOS</a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">See below for the outline for the event</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A collective attempt at manifesto making</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We present two objects of study:
‘thiscollection’ and<br>
‘edu-factory’ common statement on education</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">‘thiscollection’</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">‘The space is presented as a physical
manifestation of thiscollection’s attempt at a democratic curatorship
via a pedagogy of responding to pre-existing works in the collection’</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">————————10 mins————————- </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">You are invited to explore the space, to
look at and interact with the work and to keep in mind the problematic
themes of</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">DEMOCRACY : LEARNING : COLLECTIVE<br>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Is there a word or phrase in the work
that resonates with your own experiences of education?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Record your response individually: you
could highlight a word, or write a note,<br>
adjust the spatial arrangement, use the masking tape, or use the poems
or films</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">————————-10 mins————————–</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">In groups of about 4, take turns to
re-enact or show your response.<br>
On the large sheets of paper provided, discuss and record your
responses together.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">————————-10 mins—————————</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Attach the paper to the wall and present
your responses to the wider group</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Common statement on education,
Edu-Factory</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Do the struggles described relate to
your experiences? If so, how?<br>
How does the statement communicate to you?<br>
</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">————————-10 mins—————————</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Find a way to read through the statement
in your group. What ways are there of reading together?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">————————-10 mins—————————</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Respond together using the paper
provided. What ways are there of responding together?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">————————-10 mins—————————</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Attach the paper to the wall and present
your responses to the wider group</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Manifesto. Proposal for future action.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">How did you learn? What ways of learning
have you experienced? How do you propose we learn?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">————————-? mins—————————</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">what do we want education to be?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Are there plans for future experiments
in learning?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Tools available: pens, masking tape,
cameras, paper</p>
