Antiuniversity Now is a collaborative experiment to revisit and reimagine the 1968 Antiuniversity of East London through an open invitation to teach and learn any subject, in any form, anywhere. The first Antiuniversity Now festival, which took place in November 2015, featured over 60 events and attended by over 1200 people across the country.

The 2016 festival will be launched as part of the Dialectics of Liberation Reconvened programme.

Join us for workshop to link the historical Antiuniversity to the Antiuniversity Now programme through a collective exploration of different types of self-organised education projects, their social context, political significance and contemporary relevance. We invite participants to share their knowledge of historical radical education as well as their own experience of self-organised work today.

We also hope to inspire you to run your own Antiuniversity event and to join the movement.

The second part of the session will be an introduction to the Antiuniversity Now project and an opportunity to meet the co-organisers and some of the 2015 festival hosts. We look forward to discussing individual event ideas and provide practical support in shaping your session, finding a venue and promoting it.
