Propose an investigation here!


Hello All
We Invite you to a forum this Saturday to look together at motivations
and practices behind various experiments in education planned for this
summer.
Organised by Glasgow Open School, Glasgow People's Assemblies, the Free
Hetherington and thiscollection.
Hope to see you there. Let us know if you plan to attend. Hopefully we
should have some pizza available!

Proposal 1: Self-organisation in Education:
with Stevphen Shukaitis and Glasgow Open School


Saturday 30th April 6pm-8pm at the Glue Factory, 22 Farnell Street, off
Garscube Rd

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

We aim to combine space for open discussion of ideas and pragmatic
arrangements for collaboration.

The investigations were devised by some elements of Glasgow Open School,
Glasgow People’s Assemblies
<http://www.peoplesassemblies.org/category/communities/glasgowpa/>and
thiscollection <http://www.thiscollection.wordpress.com/>. Stevphen
Shukatis is an Editor at Autonomedia which recently published ‘The
Occupation Cookbook’
<http://www.minorcompositions.info/occupationcookbook.html> and
collaborated with Edu-Factory. <http://www.edu-factory.org>

To let us know if you plan to attend, leave a comment below or email GOS
<mailto:info at glasgowopenschool.com>

See below for the outline for the event

 

A collective attempt at manifesto making

 

We present two objects of study: ‘thiscollection’ and
‘edu-factory’ common statement on education

‘thiscollection’

‘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’

————————10 mins————————-

You are invited to explore the space, to look at and interact with the
work and to keep in mind the problematic themes of

DEMOCRACY : LEARNING : COLLECTIVE

Is there a word or phrase in the work that resonates with your own
experiences of education?

Record your response individually: you could highlight a word, or write
a note,
adjust the spatial arrangement, use the masking tape, or use the poems
or films

————————-10 mins————————–

In groups of about 4, take turns to re-enact or show your response.
On the large sheets of paper provided, discuss and record your responses
together.

————————-10 mins—————————

Attach the paper to the wall and present your responses to the wider group

Common statement on education, Edu-Factory

Do the struggles described relate to your experiences? If so, how?
How does the statement communicate to you?

————————-10 mins—————————

Find a way to read through the statement in your group. What ways are
there of reading together?

————————-10 mins—————————

Respond together using the paper provided. What ways are there of
responding together?

————————-10 mins—————————

Attach the paper to the wall and present your responses to the wider group

Manifesto. Proposal for future action.

How did you learn? What ways of learning have you experienced? How do
you propose we learn?

————————-? mins—————————

what do we want education to be?

Are there plans for future experiments in learning?

Tools available: pens, masking tape, cameras, paper
