Meeting Notes 10/18/11

Teach Ins should focus on:

Desire a supportive and empowered community.

Community Outreach beyond the Occupation

* How and why can they be involved?
* Perhaps we can start in the South End and target particular audiences that community orgs determine.
* Maybe AVILLIAGE could be a starting organization?


Popular Education Model

* Inclusive education vs. Teaching at we Teach each other.
* Balances power dynamics and is a form of group therapy.

Teaching Spaces

* At the Encampment
* In the Community
* General Skill Building & Idea Sharing

Coalition Building. This can be a space for aligned organizations to share their missions with individuals.

***Should there be a renaming of the Education Forum?

How about the Department of ReEducation?

Hmmm Frankie there's a start :-)

Also at the POC Caucus meeting on 10/19/11 there was interest from attendees about facilitating teach ins and an entire bank of knowledge interested in educating people at the encampment and in the larger communities surrounding the base. There's some good stuff there Teach In Folks should be connecting to.
