Sharing and Supporting Anarchist Ideas and Experiences

Category: Joyful Resistance

Joyful Resistance, September 10

Joyful Resistance banner. Image reads “Joyful Resistance”, with a clenched fist holding a pencil and a circle-A for the letter “a” in the word resistance. The image also contains the Anarchist Pedagogies Network logo, a circle around four hands holding each other, and the Antiuni Now logo, a black circle with the words “Antiuni Now” in white.

Being an anarchist educator can be a pretty lonely affair from time to time. We’ve seen a need to approach this issue by many members and participants in Anarchist Pedagogies Network events, and we’d like to do something practical about it. We’ve already hosted several successful events, and this one is really special, as it is made available through Antiuniversity. At the session, we will have an informal discussion about our experiences with education, how we might be able to support other educators attempting to use anarchist methods in their classrooms, or any topic that participants find useful. This forum has been incredibly meaningful to participants so far, and has created some inspiring collaborations.

Groups in both Spanish and English. Check out the event here.

Joyful Resistance, August 6

Online event, Friday, August 6, 2021. Times for English-speaking group: 4 PM UCT (5 PM BST / 6 PM CEST / 12 PM EDT). Times for Spanish-speaking group: 10 PM UCT (5 PM CDT / 6 PM Chile / 12 AM CEST)

Creating a community to share experiences and ideas is a useful approach to develop ourselves as educators, but we also need each other to take care of ourselves.

Mutual care, as the emotional part of mutual aid, is an essential part of our survival and resistance in neoliberal educational environments. We’d like to invite all of you to our monthly Joyful Resistance group, where we are creating a safe space of mutual support to endure our struggles and create resistance networks together. Here, we’ll have a safe space to meet others, criticize safely, open up, give and receive support, and keep on our educational work together.

Our goal is to develop self-directed groups where we can create our own structures, topics and agendas.

If you’d like to join us for the first time, please register here https://www.eventbrite.com/…/joyful-resistance…
