During the visioning meeting we will be discussing key roles and responsibilities required to help the AFU function smoothly in the near future.

This workshop is open to anyone interested in learning how to prepare and plan a course. The focus will be on courses in a free school environment, in particular the AFU, but anyone interested in teaching and education is also welcome to benefit from and contribute to discussion. We will discuss ways to develop a plan of action for teaching. If you’ve ever considered teaching a course at the AFU, this will help you get started!

Topics discussed will include:

• Choosing a course topic
• What kind of class format/structure?
• Writing a course description
• Developing course content
• The proposal process for the AFU
• Group facilitation techniques
• Facilitator support

The Anarchist Free University is an open, volunteer-run, non-hierarchical collective that organizes community events, workshops free of cost to all participants! We offer an open, collaborative, radical way of learning built on democratic models of education, structure and process.
