Join us for the Fall 2022 session of Free Skool Santa Cruz – link to submission form here! Our fall calendar goes from October 15th to December 15th. Deadline for class submissions is Wednesday October 12!
What classes would you like to see in October-December??? What skills would you like to share? What types of classes would help grow more vibrant, self-reliant and mutually supportive communities? Part of creating a new world is resistance to the old one. Through this project, we want to contribute to changing the ways we learn and the ways we relate to each other.
We try to keep Free Skool firmly fixed in a gift economy and outside the stream of commerce. While some teachers may ask for a donation to cover materials, no one is turned away for lack of funds.
We see Free Skool as a direct challenge and alternative to dominant institutions and hierarchical relationships. The project strives to blur the lines between teacher, learner, and organizer. Free Skool is decentralized, with classes held in social spaces and parks.
We look forward to seeing your proposals for the Fall 2022 Free Skool calendar. -Free Skool collective members
Information for teachers:
Scheduling & Commitment: Fall quarter goes from October 15 – December 15, 2022. You choose how often you want to teach your classes and what days fit your schedule. If you schedule a class, we ask you to commit to it. Note: while we very much appreciate your excitement to offer a class, perhaps multiple class sessions, we highly discourage weekly classes during the entire fall session for a variety of reasons. Contact us if you would like to discuss this more.
Teaching Space: We encourage teachers to find their own spaces for their classes, but if you need it, we may be able to help you find a location. Classes can potentially be taught in the courtyard outside SubRosa or inside SubRosa depending on health and safety guidelines and other factors.
Deadline: For teachers, the deadline to remember is October 12! We'll need your class information by that deadline. Link to submission form here!
Teacher Responsibilities: Free Skool is a decentralized, non-institutional project. In other words, you and I make it happen. Therefore, you have certain responsibilities as a teacher including respecting general Covid health and safety recommendations. Promote your class through word-of-mouth, fliering, community outreach, and online. Work with other Free Skoolers to post calendars and fliers. Be prompt and reliable. Take good care of the spaces who graciously host your class. Help create a culture of greater caring, sharing, and balance with the earth without money and hierarchy. And let's enjoy each other's company and the coming autumn.

***Members of the SubRosa collective are involved in this revived and not entirely new, not all too different version of Free Skool Santa Cruz – a project in mutual aid learning and sharing. And SubRosa/the Hub is a site of a significant amount of classes (although not all!). More info about SubRosa at http://www.subrosaproject.org/ and the Hub at http://www.santacruzhub.org

Comments on the SubRosa website are fully moderated. As a collective, we agreed that the purpose of the website was to promote SubRosa, not to provide an online place for lively and invigorating debate. We hope that the space itself is where conversations on the nature of anarchism and local projects will take place. That said, we occasionally approve comments that are informative or reflect a viewpoint we feel it is important for website visitors to read.
