Education is a human right, but for too many young people school isn’t a place they can learn or thrive. And for an increasing number of children school isn’t a place they can be at all. Working with an abolitionist lens, we will explore how schools can be sites of oppression as well as learning, and think about who pays the price. 

An interactive workshop for children and adults to imagine a different kind of education system, and plot how we can make it a reality.
