Sumac Saturday Skill Share

Letslearncoolstuff | 04.10.2007 08:37 | Education

A series of practical workshops are being run at the Sumac every Saturday. They are free - come along!

These workshops are being put on by people concerned that our world based on cheap oil has resulted in us losing many basic practical skills. Our communities will be much stronger and more independent when cheap oil runs out if we regain some of these skills. And it should be fun!

These workshops have a DIY ethic - if you have any skills you can offer, or any you particularly want - get in touch.

The programme:

20th October: Running popular education workshops.
Are you involved in community education? This workshop uses popular education techniques to show how to run participatory, interesting and successful workshops.

It would be cool if the workshops would post reports here as I won't be able to make most Saturdays.
