Alternative summit

On March 12th and 13th 2010 – while the official “Bologna Ministerial Anniversary Conference” is going on – there will be an alternative summit in Vienna. In workshops, panels and discussion groups we want to analyze and criticize the existing educational system and discuss alternatives and perspectives (i.e. what a different form of education and university could look like). The success of the summit depends on your participation – let’s tell the politicians what we think!

In addition to the workshops there will be an open space which will be structured like a barcamp (see below). Feel free to use the open space and open blog and participate.

As the protest movement is international, translators for all European languages will be needed. If you can help with translations please write us an email at Questo indirizzo e-mail è protetto dallo spam bot. Abilita Javascript per vederlo. .

We’re looking forward to an exciting alternative summit!

(German)
Von „Pisa“ nach „Bologna“ ist der Weg logisch und geradlinig: Es ist der Weg einer schleichenden Verschulung des Menschen und seiner Fähigkeiten, sich zu bilden. Ist aber der Mensch nicht just dadurch ein freier Mensch, daß er – frei! - sich bilden kann und will – und somit Träger und Präger einer demokratischen Gestaltung der Bildungslandschaften ist? Sollte das „Symptom Bologna“ ein Ausdruck der zivilisationsspezifischen Institution Schule sein, ist die Konsequenz naheliegend und längst fällig: der radikale Ausbruch aus der Schule!
