Free School University (FSU)
Free School University at Occupy Boston
The FSU is an on-site learning community. Topics vary from fun-and-games to politics and revolution. Our goal is to form an autonomous zone and share skills needed to maintain that, to entertain educate and enliven visitors and Occupiers. Our purpose is to provide support and space for skill sharing and sharing basic info regarding Occupy Boston and to encourage self-organization, teaching, and learning opportunities.
To schedule a teach-in, submit a title, brief description, and short bio, along with the day(s) and time(s) you are available to: rachel@freeschooluniversity.org. If you have questions, or would like to be added to our volunteers email list, please contact: fsu@occupyboston.org.
