Earlier this summer THE PUBLIC SCHOOL organized a 13-day seminar in Berlin,
There is nothing less passive than the act of fleeing… The seminar, meeting each day at a different location in Berlin, took the form of an open reading group, where the texts discussed each day resonated with the site selected. Please visit the project web site for more information on our activities and discussion topics:

*****
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL is a school with no curriculum. At the moment, it operates as follows: first, classes are proposed by the public (I want to learn this or I want to teach this); then, people have the opportunity to sign up for the classes (I also want to learn that); finally, when enough people have expressed interest, the school finds a facilitator and offers the class to those who signed up.
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL is not accredited, it does not give out degrees, and it has no affiliation with the public school system. It is a framework that supports autodidactic activities, operating under the assumption that everything is in everything.
*****
1. A committee member of the THE PUBLIC SCHOOL LOS ANGELES will briefly discuss its history and how it operates.
2. We will have a discussion about how the school could work here and what shape(s) it could take.
3. We will create class proposals.
4. We will talk some more!
Please join us to find out more about the school and find ways that you can participate, including joining the committee (D.A.N.) to help run the school here.
If you have questions please get in touch. Also, please sign up for an account
here and afterwards try
proposing some classes. To see the activities happening at the other schools, please visit
