Classroom Adrift 2012
is organized by
Sitesize
and LaFundició, and its purpose is to give continuity to the work and collaboration processes that both groups have been developing in
Classroom Adrift 2011
, and previously, in the contexts of
Ateneu Santboià
( Sant Boi), Can Batlló, (Sants–
CandeL’Hart
( Bellvitge– L’Hospitalet),
LA LANZADERA, Xarxa de Creació al Delta del Llobregat
( El Prat),
Open-roulotte
( Ripollet),
Ateneu Enciclopèdic Popular
(Barcelona) and the
Jardí de l’Amistat
(Can Rull–Sabadell).
Classroom Adrift 2012 takes place in specific contexts and territories with certain cultural, social and relational particularities: In each of these contexts there are mediations, controversies, conversations or different negotiations around how culture should be provided, appropriated and managed, and different social agents (individuals, groups, institutions…) intervene, with different interests, practices, knowledge and desires. Therefore, we want to remain attentive and react to these particularities, not applying a pre-defined program, but collaborating and sharing our experience and knowledge in open work processes, adding our participation to that of other people, connecting practices without patrimonializing them… in short, contributing to creative cultural and social dynamics without directing them.
At the same time, we propose Classroom Adrift 2012 as a general learning context, understanding learning as the collective construction of knowledge. We are talking about a learning context both for the agents present in each of the locations, as well as for ourselves and for all those people who, not being previously involved in the work contexts, are interested in participating in the processes developed, whether they are students, educators, activists, artists or electricians.
