Presentations, parties, conversations and workshops

SUMMIT starts with an opening session on Thursday, May 24 8pm. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, there will be summit events from 11 am to the evening. Between 3pm and 4:30pm of each day, there is a slot for "urgent thought" presentations. At 8pm the public evening program starts.

Every night SUMMIT presents a public program which will feature the following formats:

History lessons are moments of actualization of historical debates on education. How did the working class movement discuss "education" and how was it different to a romantic and omnipresent bourgeois notion? Why did german "re-education" after world war II fail? What can we learn from May 1968?

We are also planning a series of workshops as fragments for a radical pedagogy.

Every day between 3pm and 4:30pm there is a slot for presentations of "urgent thought" promoting theories of activism and participation.

The drafting process of the declaration is not supposed to happen behind closed dors in some kind of expert group. Our proposal is to invite each evening a group of editors to publically discuss different paragraphs of the draft on stage. Their drafting work is projected on a screen and what was formerly known as the audience should be able to contribute through a local area network.
