That's right, your two favorite youth-led projects, Misled Youth and the Young Eclectic Liberation Leaders are presenting a workshop this Saturday at the first ever NYC Anarchist Bookfair! The bookfair will be taking place on Sat. April 14th and Sunday April 15th at Judson Memorial Church (55 Washington Square South).
Here is the description of our workshop:
Learning from the Inside Out: Collaborative and Peer-Based Education
This workshop will focus on popular education as we want to explore the curiosities, passions and skills we possess as individuals. We want to hear about the participants' experiences with self-teaching, collaborative learning, traditional or alternative schooling and the challenges or benefits they encountered. After this process of sharing, we will delve into different ways of learning from each other and how we can initiate spaces that encourages this form of egalitarian education.
This workshop will be presented by members of YELL (Young Eclectic Liberation Leaders) and the Misled Youth Network. We are two youth-led organizations focused on promoting collaboration, learning, and action amongst our peers. We believe that this presentation will give us an opportunity to help others realize these goals. The presentation will focus on enabling participants (and us) to form groups for learning and working on projects together. We plan to have a follow-up gathering soon after the book fair so we can keep our momentum going and solidify our plans together.
Set your alarm clocks, because our workshop starts at 11:15 in the morning. It will be taking place off-site at the Center for Constitutional Rights located at 666 Broadway, 7th floor. We will have some people at Judson to lead workshop participants over to our location. We'll also have a table with t-shirts, patches, flyers, buttons, and stickers at Judson Memorial Church.
