The Parkdale Neighbourhood Land Trust Community Engagement committee is preparing to launch the Parkdale Free School. The Free School is a PNLT initiative that aims to organize free, informal classes and workshops across the neighbourhood.
Parkdale is a neighbourhood rich in knowledge, valuable skills and lived experience, and the Communications and Community Engagement Committee (CCE) thinks it is high time we as a community find ways to share these assets with each other—in settings that are fun, engaging and accessible to all! While all PFS programming will reflect the PNLT’s commitment to equity, collective action and social justice, we take inspiration from the global free school movement in affirming instructors’ full autonomy to organize classes and curricula.
We would appreciate if you could take a few minutes (5 at most!) and share your thoughts with us about this exciting project!
