Education is freedom! We seek to provide a space for community-based
learning in order to empower and inspire each other to take control of our
lives and minds. We are launching the EXILE Freedom School in mid-January
2008 and we want all of you to get involved!

The school will have two ongoing components: regular weekly courses running for
at least 2 months, and a weekly skill-share that changes from week to week.

The topics we have brainstormed for the weekly courses include: Women’s
Health Action Collective, prisoner solidarity/support, combat training,
food issues/cooking, radical art and a reading group. The direction of
each course would depend entirely on the interests of those involved. All
courses will be fully participatory and each group will decide its
direction, space and schedule collectively. Sign up sheets are at Exile
for each of these classes.

If you have other ideas for weekly classes, talk to us! All ideas are
welcome, this project is for the broader Ottawa community and we want as
much diverse participation as possible.

Skill-share courses would vary week to week and topics will be determined
based on what the community desires to learn or offer. A skill-share sign
up sheet is also in the shop.

The EXILE Freedom School can use the space while it is closed (all day
Mondays and Tuesdays, after 8pm any other day). If you know of a larger,
more versatile and accessible space that could be used please let us know.

Against a life of drudgery and for a holiday without beginning or end.
