Here’s a list of discussions and workshops that have been proposed to take place at the next freeschool weekender, 5th – 7th March… keep checking back here in case of last minute changes!
The FreeSchool will happen in 195 Mare st. E8 3QE.
Please have a read of our Safer Space Policy, or welcome note for the London FreeSchool
There is a Kids space, dont hesitate to tell us your needs londonfreeschool at riseup.net (replace at by @)
In terms of accessibility, have a look at the Access Codes for the building. In short: there is a ramp at the front for the steps. the temporary layout for the use of the building the week end is the following:
– Workshop Space 1 and 2, Bar and chill out space will be on the ground floor with no steps between them.
– Workshop Space 3 and 4 will be in the basement (narrow and not very nice stairs).
– The Movie Space and the kids space will be on the ground floor but with few steps separating them from each other and from the Workshop spaces 1 and 2.
– Toilets are not wheelchair friendly, but we will try to improve them and welcome suggestions and guidance.
