[mgj-discuss] Tonight at 7PM -- MGJ Education meeting!

Tue Jul 23 14:56:40 EDT 2002

First season's meeting of MGJ Education working group:

7:00PM, Tuesday July, 23 
Public Resource Center for Activism & Art 
1730 Connecticut Ave. NW 
(~2 blocks north of Dupont Circle) 
Tonight is the first meeting of the MGJ Education
working group. Also joining them are members of the
Washington DC Social Forum (WDC-SF) and the District
Anti-War Network (DAWN) 

Last September thousands of people came to the 
mobilization—and hundreds were able to take advantage 
of the People’s Summit and related education events! 

Now the question is, can we do even more MASSive 
education? 

LOOK BELOW to see the 2001 People’s Summit /workshop 
topics from last year! (see below). We have the names 
& numbers of the people/organizations who held these 
events. 

--Can you look at this list and ask what crucial 
topics are missing? 

--Do you know ways / places that can get more DIVERSE 
audiences to these education events? 

--Who wants to discuss HOW to present the information 
(forums, subject-tracks, debates?) 

Are you interested in asking audio/video people to 
CAPTURE this for history, for archives, for the whole 
damn Internet? 

Let’s rev up the education engines! Let’s start the 
“Blackboard/Chalk Bloc”! What is more radical than 
learning, eh? 

So, where is it all starting?! 

7:00PM, Tuesday July, 23 
Public Resource Center for Activism & Art 
1730 Connecticut Ave. NW (~2 blocks north of Dupont 
Circle)

"Every time we support a community based communication process, we are not only helping a concrete community to have a better and more dignified life; we are also supporting the development of a communication ideal that may be the only means to ensure cultural identity and the survival of a world of diversity." 
-- Alfonso Gumucio Dagron
