International Student Movement

July 14th: Global Chat Meeting

During this chat meeting participants will finalize the new issue of Reclaim Education. Furthermore the idea to set up a collection of texts relevant to the struggle will be a focus of the chat.

The ISM platform is being upheld by individual activists in different parts of the world. It will continue to exist as long as individuals who are passionate about the struggle help to maintain the infrastructure, improve it and make use of it.

All interested and identifying with the struggle against the increasing commercialisation of education and for free emancipatory education anywhere on this planet are invited to participate in this chat meeting!

This pad will be used to collect notes of the chat meeting: pad.riseup.net (feel free to contribute)
