Hello to you!,
Milwaukee is now joining the FreeSkool movement, which recognizes the classism and racism present in North American education systems. We aim to have constant skill shares, discussions, projects, and events in non- intimidating creative ways. We will use the Cream City Collective located in Riverwest to create our own independent school outside of the system. This will build networks and self-reliance within our community, and honors individual growth. Milwaukee FreeSchool is inclusive of all folks across differences in age, race, gender, class, identity, ability, and status.
Calling all facilitators, absorbers of knowledge, activists, students/teachers, 3 year olds, 73 year olds, Spoken word poets, cooks, geeks, musicians, and you:
Tomorrow we are meeting up at the CCC to plan the new FreeSchool Calendar. If you want to facilitate a workshop in the month of February, tell us when youre free!
