Smash the Class, School Revolt Special: the need for unlearning in learning

11 March 2022 /

As part of the School Revolt, Sonia and Nicole got together to discuss the need for collectives and individuals to put effort towards unlearning.

So often we encounter a range of interpersonal oppression that actively sabotage our abilities to prefigure and develop a healthy society. Much of this comes from the ways that our societies have been structured, but it has definitely impacted all of our values and attitudes in the ways that we organise. Sonia and Nicole both believe that it is necessary to address these, and they think that there are many ways that we can be doing this.

One element of the conversation focuses on sentipensamiento, the idea of combining the rational with the emotional. They believe that, by incorporating sentipensamiento into our activism and learning, we can help to build areas that not only engage in mutual aid but mutual care and support.

Enjoy!

APN turns one this year! And in the name of celebration, we wanted to sit down and have a little reflection about how APN started and what we hope happens in the next year.

In this episode, Nicole sat down and talked with both Daniel and Sonia. There was so much that they all discussed that it’s hard to know where to start. From the inspiration and impetus to start the network, how COVID has played a part in building learning and activist communities, to the need for unlearning harmful beliefs in our own spaces in order to contribute to liberatory movements… we covered a lot of ground in what feels like a short time.

This conversation was such a delight, and it really helps to shine a light on a lot of what we try to do in the development of this digital community. We’re really excited to share it with you!

Oh, and if you’re interested in joining us or working with us, please don’t hesitate to let us know!

(Also mentioned in the episode was a fellow collective, Gata Negra. They’re also an awesome project, so go check them out!)
