First Ever 2009 North American Free Skool Conference May 7-11, Santa Cruz, CA

Hey, friends. We've been working on a Free Skool event this spring. For a while now, we've been excited for an opportunity to get us all together to share free skool successes, challenges and ideas. We'd like you to come. Check it.

The 2009 North American Free Skool Conference Santa Cruz, California May 7th to 11th

The first ever North American Free Skool Conference happens in conjunction with the Santa Cruz Anarchist Convergence. The conference will focus on building support networks between far-flung free skool projects, building the strength of the free skool movement, and exploring broader free skool ideas.

Activities will include speakers, panel and group discussions, a free skool community picnic, and a campfire. Discussion topics may include starting and running a free skool, forming mutual support networks, how free skools contribute to the broader anarchist project, and free skools for kids. This is an amazing opportunity for free skools from all over to get together, exchange ideas, and make ambitious plans.

The convergence will also feature an anarchist bookfair, discussions and speakers on other anarchist topics, a kick-off performance event, a dance, music, games, and other events.

Bring yourselves, your radical ideas, your passions, your comrades, and whatever you need to self-sufficiently take care of yourself and your crew. We will try to provide housing and food to those who need it.

More than just show up, we want you and your fellow free skoolers to participate. We'd like to see lively discussions, and challenging panels. If you are interested in speaking, or being part of a workshop, panel, or discussion, please contact us soon as you can..

Will you consider joining us?
