Free Minds, Free People will bring together teachers, youth, parents, researchers and community-based educators from across the country to begin building a movement to develop and promote Education for Liberation. Education for Liberation is an umbrella term we use to describe the work of people who are trying to link education, social justice and activism.
This conference features dozens of workshops by and for educators and youth on topics including social justice schools, action research, arts and liberatory education, Freedom Schools, youth organizing, teaching critical consciousness and much more. It will take place in Chicago at Little Village/Lawndale High School.
The SF Freedom School will be represented on a panel entitled, "Freedom Schools, Then and Now"

i wish i could go to this! i was in chicago last year, volunteering for a media reform organization, and i would definitely have been there to film it.
i'll be in Mongolia this year instead, researching participatory education and its role in conservation efforts in the Mongolian steppes.
love the blog, by the way. i am currently writing my undergraduate thesis on democratic education, and might cite this blog as an example of harnessing media for education.
best,
stephan!e
