Hey All,

Not expressly related to de-commercializing education, but it has been a subject related to the current political upheaval in Greece, so here goes:

 

There is a cyber-sit in being planned for today and tomorrow against the Greek government.  More information can be found here: http://news.infoshop.org/article.php?story=20081229053100526

 

If you have any questions let me know at jpoleary at riseup.net

 

Solidarity and peace!

jim

cyber sit-in 2010?

thanks jim, cyber sit-in... interesting idea for later, btw. as one of the actions besides the analogue ones during maybe one of the nex days or weeks of actions...
but next time - for whatever topic more or less expressly related to de-commercializing education - i think posting a hint will also make sense if posted a bit earlier, means not in the last moment.
(but the pure idea... a global cyber-sit in - e.g. as a closing act an the end of an action day... - i know, cyber sit-ins or digital demonstrations are not a new idea, but that´s not a reason not to think about such an protest form for us too - what do you think?)
but please--- give this page a week of ahead-of-schedule-time or so when posting new hints.

I don't think that this topic was simply to hint at a tactic

The Greek Uprising is quite relevant to the emancipation of education... it just isn't limited to the commercialization aspects of education.
