<Hamilton FreeSkool!> Freeskool! Shared Perspective Dates

[Rachel Nolan]

Hey learning people,

*Three Shared Perspectives talks are scheduled for the upcoming weeks*!
Monday, August 22nd at 7pm at the Sky Dragon,
Saturday, August 27 at 2pm at the Intolerant Gallery,
Monday, September 12 at 7pm at the Sky Dragon

These talks have been great opportunities to listen and engage, and turn
around ideas in a willing, diverse and interesting group of people, every
time, and have been very well received. Don't miss what's coming up! Please
keep yourselves apprised on the website at
hamiltonfreeskool.org/sharedperspectives.

For those who (is it possible?) are still not sure, the spirit of the Shared
Perspectives series of talks is that all people, at all points in life, have
a perspective of value to share - that we lose out, big time, by
marginalising people of one age or another, young or old, and that there is
a great deal to gain by participating in dialogues across the years. Each
talk features someone offering their answers to the questions of what they
think of this concept, what they have themselves have learned, what it is
like to be where they are at, and what, if given the chance, would they want
to share, given what their perspective affords them.

Any questions, to suggest a talk (by yourself or by someone we should
approach) or for more information, please feel free to email
hamiltonfreeskool at gmail.org, or rache.nolan at gmail.org.

*On to the schedule of events!*

At 27 King William, at the Sky Dragon Centre (which is closed for
renovations but open for...Hamilton Freeskool!) on August 22nd at 7pm we
have a really cool event featuring, in fact, TWO perspectives: *from mother
and daughter*. *Diane and Keisha* (yes, that's *the* Keisha Neoma-Quinn)
will interview each other on what it was like growing up, what they learn
from each other, and more. Don't miss this one, it is sure to be a rare and
interesting event.

The following Saturday at 2pm, we use *Art as Perspective - Dawn at
the Intolerant
Gallery on King Street (239 King Street East, across from Ferguson Station)
will be facilitating a conversation about control in relationships, using an
art exhibition including original works on the subject.
Listening/participating in this dialogue is sure to be thought provoking,
and is part of an important topic for discussion and awareness in our
community as in every community. Addictive, co-dependent and abusive
paradigms, as well as healthy ones, will be discussed, and beautiful art
will be shared.*

We are very lucky to have the very learned speaker *George Sorge*r featured
on Monday, September 12 at 7pm at the Sky Dragon. George has swaths of
knowledge and experience relating to South American history, as well as
South American-Canadian history - he will be speaking on *the colonialist
legacies and the importance of a historical perspective*, as well as adding
his own 73 years of life experiences into the mix. Definitely come out for
this educational and interesting dialogue.

Stay tuned for additions to the schedule for this Freeskool series, and
please feel very invited to get in touch with questions or ideas.
