[Ubuntu Chicago] How We Learn: Building an Educated City

[Jim Campbell]

A member of Free Geek Chicago will be speaking on a panel concerning
"educational opportunities outside of the job and the academy," this
Saturday.  I think this is relevant to what we do, too, so I thought I would
pass information about it along.


Title/Date: How We Learn: Building an Educated City
=========
Event Details:
*Saturday 7.28, 1-3pm*

w/ Mess Hall, Platypus, Free Geek, Chicagoland/Calument Underground Railroad
Efforts, Bronzeville Historical Society, Chicago Women's Health Clinic,
African Diaspora, The Odyssey Project, and more.
Adults Need Quality, Interesting, Creative, Critical Educational
Opportunities Outside of the Job and the Academy!

You are invited to join a discussion with a panel featuring representatives
of local educational initiatives committed to cultural learning for adults
in Chicago. These organizations and projects operate outside of traditional
paradigms such as ESL/GED and professional skill development. We hope to
highlight a range of important work happening in the city and encourage new
participation in those efforts where it is appropriate. Additionally, by
showcasing innovative cultural education for adults, we will gain a better
sense what possibilities are currently available to adults seeking
stimulation outside of traditional educational settings and better
understand what this means for all of our efforts and our city.

This public forum was made possible in part by the Illinois Humanities
Council.
