<Hamilton FreeSkool!> Upcoming Documentary Discussion

[Hamilton FreeSkool !]

Dear lovers of learning!!

Our first discussion class went resoundingly well this past Monday. We
viewed talks on and then ourselves discussed notions of creativity and play
and, subsequently, of urban sprawl and slum innovation, with the many
spidering micro-discussions naturally forthcoming from each. *This
Thanksgiving Monday, **in the spirit of some of the critical issues of
current local affairs, our topic will be Urban Spaces. *We will screen two
or three talks/documentaries and hopefully take up some of the important
discussion and communication that it is in everybody's interest to promote,
including things like the aerotropolis and protecting ecosystems and the
kind of attitude we need to have towards the land of which we are a part.
Environmental justice. City life. Let's talk about it. The aim of this class
as always is to promote expansion of ideas and creatively building and
working together, raising questions we individually or collectively value
and trying to challenge ourselves to make the most of learning in our lives.
(in this case, perhaps that means acting.)

Upcoming Documentary Discussion topics in the near future will include Noam
Chomsky & Manufacturing Consent, and theories of physical matter. Strings
and quanta and Schrödinger, Oh my! The schedule for discussions will be
available online, and for information please contact the facilitator at
rache.nolan at gmail.com. Add your voice!

Looking forward to seeing you *Thanksgiving Monday at 7pm at the Sky Dragon
Centre!*

"If modern industrial education—and more broadly industrial
civilization—requires "the subsumption of the individual," that is, the
conversion of vibrant human beings into "automata," i.e., into a pliant
workforce, then the most revolutionary thing we can do is follow our hearts,
to manifest who we really are."
