All around us we hear the cries for a change to the current systems we live under. We know what we DO NOT WANT, but do we ever stop to think about what we do want and how we would go about creating this vision. This series of classes is designed to provide the youth with an opportunity to think critically through ideas such as: What would be our ideals and goals? Does democracy work? What kinds of economic organization would be ideal? What is freedom? Is freedom personal or collective? Can it be both? This class aims to provide space for this.Through reading, writing, discussing and analyzing the students will begin to create the blueprint for the future they want.
This is a live in person class that consists of 10 weekly 1.5 hour sessions. Best for Ages 14 to 19.
