The Anomalous Wave - videos/debate about the student protest in Italy
Rampart | 04.11.2008 13:55 | Education | Globalisation
Wednesday 5th, 7pm, at rampART Social Centre 15 -17 Rampart Street, London E1 2LA (near Whitechapel, off Commercial Rd)
Tens of Italian universities under occupation, hundreds of high schools blocked, thousands of students in the streets. The school reform proposed by the minister of education Maria Stella Gelmini has ignited the biggest wave of student protest in Italy since the 70s. The reform which entails severe cuts to the Italian public education system has managed to do what no other policy of the new Berlusconi's cabinet had managed to do: mobilising a tamed opposition and opening breaches in a public opinion which during the last two years has been effectively seduced by the artful media mogul and politician.
We will have two special guests coming from Italy to speak at the Anomalous Wave event: Paolo Do and Gigi Roggiero. They are both research students who have participated in the protests and who are part of the edu-factory project [

Dear Ramparts and Comrades from Italy,
Wednesday 5th November is not the best night for it as there are two events on, the CW bonfire will have hundreds at and the Benefit at the Grovsenor. To increase the turn-out can this event be rearranged or better still another event be organised for next week for people who couldn't make it.
cheers

Oaxaca prisoners benefit starts at 8 (which usually means at least 9!) and goes on late.
and the Class War bonfire is a booze up in the park which people could go along to later if they wanted.
Anomalous wave talk should be finished round 9.
