Summer Free School

To those looking to see if we will be hosting a 2011 SFS I am sorry to say at this point that there are no organizers available to take on this role, as we are no longer in Vancouver. If you are interested in taking on this project please send a message as we would be pleased to facilitate your organization of the event.

Cheers!

It was a great two days with fabulous people and fascinating workshops!

We are so glad to have been able to put this event together with the support of the UBC Farm, the UBC Alma Mater Society, Food Not Bombs, Terra Breads, Bean Around The World and of course those who participated.

THANK YOU!

Given the amazing turn out that we’re expecting the organizers would like to remind people to consider public transit, biking and carpooling.

We would also like to direct your attention to the recently updated Schedule and Workshop Descriptions pages.

Those who are confirmed as registered will have received an email with the following information:

Here is an updated list of things you should bring to make your Free School experience more enjoyable:
– Your lunch for both days. Snacks will be provided but they won’t be enough to feed a hundred people fully.
– Water bottle. Please fill it up at home if you want to avoid the water line up at the farm.
– Coffee/tea mug, and plate/bowl and utensils if you’re staying for supper on Saturday evening
– An exercise/yoga mat or towel or blanket if you’re going to partake in the physical activity workshops, and/or if you want a layer between you and the ground
– A folding chair if you are unable to sit on the ground for extended periods
– Sun protection and weather appropriate clothing of your choice. We’ll be outside for most of the day and we’re expecting two sunny, 24C days.
– Something to write on and something to write with, if you plan on taking notes.
– A little bit of money to help us pay for the snacks and other expenses. We’re asking for $3 for one day or $5 for both days to be paid when you sign in. And you might want a little extra to shop at the market on Saturday. (If you have already paid the original registration fee, please mention it when you sign in and you will be reimbursed.)

Participants are also welcome to bring along any musical instruments.

Thank you for your patience- the schedule is now posted as well as the workshops descriptions

With the days filling up with fantastic people and excellent workshops don’t wait too long to register or you might miss out!

If you still haven’t signed up to host a workshop or attend don’t be shy– get the full experience and add your own element to the mix.

The Summer Free School is a fun two-day event (on July 30^th and July 31^st) where you can learn new skills, discuss ideas, play games, question ideologies, explore new knowledge and meet a plethora of amazing people from a range of backgrounds. For more details take a moment and explore our site. Hope to see you there!

We’re happy to announce that the Summer Free School at UBC Farm is now open for registration!
