Home Education space at Beyond ESF

Random | 07.10.2004 11:30 | European Social Forum

The school system was set up to control and train us and insert us into the work machine. As a result, may children find school to be an alienating, upsetting and dangerous experience. Home education is one way of overcoming these problems. Come and find out more at the Beyond ESF!

CHILDREN’S SPACE - ‘No Crèche Space’
Home educating children are organising a children’s space and are asking any children who plan to come along to bring something to do with others within the space.
If a high number of children come to the children’s space then a rota will be around for adults to volunteer, to spend small amounts of time each, to be supportive to the children’s space. Any adults coming might like to look at the times and details of workshops and work out when they would like to volunteer to support this space.

****************************** ******
IS IT FREE?
YES!
Thanks to the support and efforts of rampART we have been donated this space but being the gracious guests that we are we would love to encourage anyone coming to offer to help in the kitchen preparing the dinner.
Donations would be very welcomed to rampART – Look out for donation containers and more info. at rampART.
The ‘ESF - No School Space’ would like to thank ‘rampART’ for being really friendly to us!
