The Radical Education Forum and sound art collective Ultra-red invite you to two days of presentation, discussion and reflection on radical education in the UK. The workshops will be broken into sessions in which radical educators in the UK will present histories and techniques of radical education, and facilitate discussion about their links to social movements and social change. Sessions will be recorded, transcribed and collaboratively edited to create a Radical Education Workbook to be published in 2011.
If you would like to present or attend, please RSVP to radicaleducationforum@gmail.com
The Radical Education Forum is a group of people working in a wide range of educational settings who meet monthly to discuss radical pedagogical theories and techniques, and contemporary issues of interest to those involved in education. We are interested in how these theories and questions can inform our practice. The Forum supports social justice in education, linking practitioners within mainstream educational institutions, community education initiatives, social movements, arts organisations and self-organised groups. Previous meetings have covered topics such as the pedagogy of educators such as Paolo Freire and Celestin Freinet; privatisation in education; ‘free schools’; and the teaching of citizenship. Meetings are held on the first Monday of every month at the Brady Arts Centre, 192-196 Hanbury Street, London E1 4HU from 7-9pm and are open to all.
Sound art collective Ultra-red pursue a dynamic exchange between art and political organizing. Founded in 1994 by two AIDS activists, Ultra-red have over the years expanded to include artists, researchers and organisers from different social movements including the struggles of migration, anti-racism, participatory community development, and the politics of HIV/AIDS.
Making a Radical Education Workbook is presented as part of the exhibition Best Laid Plans at The Drawing Room (11 November, 2010 – 23 January, 2011). Pages for the workbook will be added throughout the exhibition. The Drawing Room is located at Tannery Arts, Brunswick Wharf, 55 Laburnum Street London E2.
