Teach and learn together for a better world!

smallerFree School is a self-organized, community-driven experiment in participatory and liberatory education. It aims to be a radical education space that offers people tools to create a more just, sustainable, and joyful world.

From August 26­ to 28, we will share our accumulated knowledge of matters practical, theoretical, and radical. We will also swim, discuss, listen to live music, eat amazing food (much of it grown right here at Heartseed Farm), watch movies, and hang out with friends old and new. Participation is limited to 50 people, so make sure to register early!

Submit a Workshop Proposal!

  • History, politics, strategies, and ideas
  • Practical skills, knowledge, and techniques
  • Stories, experiences, and collaborative creativity

Propose a workshop (open to all)

This year, Free School is a collaboration between people affiliated with Heartseed Farm, Trade School Halifax, and the Radical Imagination project.

Help Get the Word Out!

The Free School relies entirely on the participation, enthusiasm and skills of those who show up. This is true of publicity too, which is by word of mouth.

See you there!
