SUMMARY:Self-defence with PunchUp
DESCRIPTION:*** All School of Activism 2.0 events will be held online ***\nBook Tickets\nCome and join Punch Up FTP for a beginner’s introduction to self defence. Well\, we think it’s about time we got back to training to fight for a better world\, to look after ourselves and each other and to have fun together. This workshop is suitable for all ages. \nDue to the relaxing of Covid guidelines\, this event will now take place in person in Eastville Park. \nPunch Up FTP is a volunteer-run training group in Bristol for people of left-wing politics. We work as a collective\, sharing out the tasks of running the group and leading sessions. Group members share their skills in martial arts and combat sports\, such as Muay Thai\, boxing\, Taiji and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. All genders and all levels of experience are welcome\, we prioritise support of beginners. \nAims\nTo provide training space and skill-sharing for people involved in or supportive of left politics.\nTo learn together to fight effectively to protect ourselves and each other.\nTo build and reinforce a sense of solidarity\, affinity and community through training regularly together and ensuring we maintain a safer space for training. \nTraining Agreement\nWe want to train with respect\, mutual support and good communication.\nOur training culture aims to be feminist and pro trans.\nOur focus is on helping each other out and learning together.\nWe are not interested in proving ourselves or point scoring at others’ expense.\nWe will not tolerate macho\, domineering or overly competitive behaviour or attitudes.\nWe hope to run the group collectively and recognise that everyone has something to offer.\nWe aim to ensure all participants\, at whatever level of experience\, have fun\, improve skills and learn how to fight effectively. \nRecommended donation £4 (no one turned away through lack of funds). \nTickets available now from Headfirst. The suggested donation of £4 will help us keep the School of Activism as accessible & low-cost as possible\, £8 will subsidise a ticket for someone else – but no-one turned away through lack of funds!\n\nThe School of Activism 2.0 is a two week programme of workshops\, talks and activities brought to you by Peoples Republic of Stokes Croft over the Easter holidays. The workshops are intended to be empowering experiences equipping people with the tools to challenge the status quo\, contest power structures and ultimately to change the world.\nWe learn by doing.\nWe make our own future.\n\n\n\nSchool of Chativism\n\nIf you're feeling hyped about all this educating\, and you wanna connect with other SoA students to talk about what you've learnt\, and/or discuss the future of ethical social media\, then this is for you... \n\n"The School of Chativism is an experimental social media space that will run for the duration of the School of Activism 2.0. This is the place to discuss and share events at SOA2. But it's also a space for questioning what social media currently is\, and what it could be\, for activists and activism. We can remake it as we go\, transform it throughout SOA2.“ \n\nJoin the conversation »

SUMMARY:Invented Futures: Speculation\, Visionaries and Modern Mythologies
DESCRIPTION:*** All School of Activism 2.0 events will be held online ***\nBook Tickets\nJoin Invented Futures to revisit the ways speculative thinking\, experimental writing\, manifestos\, magazines\, essays\, online forums\, fictions and modern mythologies have created\, transformed and rendered new futures\, formerly impossible technologies\, counter-cultural tech utopias and\, ultimately\, our dominant culture. \nThroughout the history of emerging tech\, as well as the reflections on how we live alongside it\, there’s been slippages between fiction and reality. From Ada Lovelace\, to Ted Nelson and Stewart Brand\, through to Donna Haraway\, Octavia Butler\, William Gibson and Marshall McLuhan\, our technological future has been collectively divined and metabolised by visionary thinkers. \nThe space between the early 1960s to the 1990s saw computers transform in our collective imagination from dehumanising machines of control into tools for a new shared digital utopia. But what instruments of speculation do we have now? And if the medium is still the message\, where does that leave our own capacity to continue to invent futures? \nInvented Futures is a collective that tears apart the narratives that fuel the development of new technology. We take a look at how tech innovation has got to where it is by examining how the role of speculative thinking can show us how there are alternatives to given tech cultures – through fictions\, design\, philosophies\, experimental AI systems and human-computer interactions that can uncover ‘possible worlds’. \nTickets available now from Headfirst. The suggested donation of £4 will help us keep the School of Activism as accessible & low-cost as possible\, £8 will subsidise a ticket for someone else – but no-one turned away through lack of funds!\n\nThe School of Activism 2.0 is a two week programme of workshops\, talks and activities brought to you by Peoples Republic of Stokes Croft over the Easter holidays.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED - Tech Manifesto Writing Workshop for Young People
DESCRIPTION:*** All School of Activism 2.0 events will be held online ***\nBook Tickets\nWE REGET TO INFORM YOU THAT DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES THIS WORKSHOP HAS BEEN CANCELLED.\nThe Invented Futures tall at 1.15pm today is still going ahead. See here: http://hdfst.uk/E63940 \nA creative workshop for young people that explores the use of manifestos\, experimental writing and political action to transform society’s relationship with technology. \nAt the moment\, there’s a feeling of distrust in big tech\, which creates an opportunity for young people to rewrite the rules. The manifesto has been used as a political tool throughout major turning points in the history of collective action. Political parties from all factions\, of course\, use them as a way of setting out policies. But manifestos have also been used by art movements and citizens alike to demonstrate against dominant systems. \nUsing famous examples through history\, from A Cyborg Manifesto to the writings of tech workers globally\, we’ll explore how artists\, writers\, activists and citizens have taken the future into their own hands by making demands on technology and society through creative practice. \nThen\, we’ll ask what questions you want to channel into your own tech manifesto: Why is discrimination embedded within data and automation? How can we take back the tech in our pockets? What is your view on social media and socialising? Do you think about the impact of increasing surveillance? \nAll you need is a pen and paper! \nInvented Futures is a collective that tears apart the narratives that fuel the development of new technology. We take a look at how tech innovation has got to where it is by speculating about alternatives to given tech cultures – through fictions\, design\, philosophies\, experimental AI systems and human-computer interactions that can uncover ‘possible worlds’. \nTickets available now from Headfirst.

SUMMARY:School of Chativism - Review Session
DESCRIPTION:*** All School of Activism 2.0 events will be held online ***\nBook Tickets\nAn opportunity to look back on the lessons learned and the questions raised through the School of Chativism experiment – an alternative social media created for the School of Activism – and maybe a chance to answer the question “is it possible to create a truly ethical social media platform?”. \nHello fellow SOA participant or supporter\, \nAs our contribution to the discussion in this year’s School of Activism we are working with the PRSC to create an experimental online space to inform\, engage and probe the  potential benefits\, drawbacks and issues that come with social media usage today. \nFor the duration of the SOA we’re running an experimental online social discussion space we call the ‘School of Chativism’\, where you can post any relevant questions and/or content in the decentralised social media forum. \nIf you’re able to join us in the debate that would be even better\, especially if there are wider questions related to your interests you’d like to share. As well\, please could you support this platform by sharing the URL so others can get meaningful insights to online networking harms. \nhttps://forum.schoolofchativism.org/ \nAll the best\,\nOllie\, Victoria\, Rik and Dan\nSchool of Chativism Team \nTickets available now from Headfirst.

SUMMARY:Digital Witness: An introduction to Storytelling and Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:*** All School of Activism 2.0 events will be held online ***\nBook Tickets\nDigital Witness has been running digital storytelling workshops for 5 years working with a variety of agencies and organisations. In this workshop they aim to give an outline to the process of how they deliver the workshops and share some of the experiences and skills they have gained over time. \nThey will introduce and demonstrate the Seven Steps of Digital Storytelling – the building blocks of the technique. They will then present a few digital stories from around the world and facilitate a discussion about where and how these stories have been used for advocacy\, including local environmental campaigns\, issues around gender based violence and patients rights among others. They hope this discussion can lead to exploring new and innovative ways this technique can be used in your practice and future projects and campaigns. \nWhat is a digital story?\nDigital stories are brief first person videos created by combining age-old storytelling narrative practice with modern-day technology and digital media. Digital storytelling is different from the art of making short films in several key ways. \nFirst\, digital stories are typically produced in small\, intensive workshops\, where trained facilitators put much emphasis on story development and sharing. Storytellers are encouraged to put their stories ahead of the technology\, and a primary aim of the process is to show people the transformative effects of giving voice to their own challenges\, triumphs\, opinions\, and struggles. \nSecond\, digital storytelling puts the tools of production directly into the hands of the storyteller\, who is trained to use free or inexpensive digital editing tools to craft a video from her/his own materials\, including the recorded narrative and important personal photographs. \nFinally\, digital storytellers are encouraged to use their stories\, both to start conversations with friends\, coworkers and family\, and in more formal efforts at community building\, education\, program documentation\, and advocacy. \nHow is digital storytelling used in community projects?\n\nFor community digital storytelling facilitators\, these stories are useful both as a process and a product. As a process\, creating a digital story can build skills in reflection and critical thinking\, oral\, written\, and visual storytelling\, and multimedia production. As a product\, you can use a digital story for outreach and organising\, fundraising\, documentation and reflection. \nWhy is digital storytelling effective as a tool?\n\nThroughout history\, story has been used to teach\, to entertain\, to express\, to advocate\, and to organise. It is through the sharing of stories that communities build their identities\, pass on traditions\, and construct meaning. Community building efforts use story to remember the past\, to understand the present\, and to imagine the future. \nStories build community:\nBoth internally and externally\, stories can connect individuals to others who share their experiences and generate the ability of individuals and organisations to act. One goal of community building is to become part of someone else’s story\, to have their story become part of you. It is through the act of telling that we realise that our stories are interconnected with others. \nStories can create the conditions for change:\nWhen we build relationships through storytelling\, the process often encourages individuals to think differently about themselves and about their capacity to act both individually and collectively. We tell stories as evidence of our work to galvanize energy\, to raise funds\, and to educate. \nTickets available now from Headfirst. The suggested donation of £4 will help us keep the School of Activism as accessible & low-cost as possible\, £8 will subsidise a ticket for someone else – but no-one turned away through lack of funds!\n\nThe School of Activism 2.0 is a two week programme of workshops\, talks and activities brought to you by Peoples Republic of Stokes Croft over the Easter holidays. The workshops are intended to be empowering experiences equipping people with the tools to challenge the status quo\, contest power structures and ultimately to change the world.\nWe learn by doing.\nWe make our own future.\n\n\n\nSchool of Chativism\n\nIf you're feeling hyped about all this educating\, and you wanna connect with other SoA students to talk about what you've learnt\, and/or discuss the future of ethical social media\, then this is for you... \n\n"The School of Chativism is an experimental social media space that will run for the duration of the School of Activism 2.0. This is the place to discuss and share events at SOA2. But it's also a space for questioning what social media currently is\, and what it could be\, for activists and activism.

SUMMARY:Philosophy For Children
DESCRIPTION:*** All School of Activism 2.0 events will be held online ***\nBook Tickets\nPhilosophy\, the “love of wisdom\,” begins with wonder about the world. It is one of the oldest academic disciplines\, but traditionally it has not been considered a subject for children. Yet young people ask philosophical questions and are curious about philosophical issues: How do we know things? What is beauty? How are the mind and body connected? \nYoung people do not need to learn philosophy; it is something they do. \nThe second in a series of workshops to provide young children the opportunity to engage in philosophical discussion\, develop their ability to think and reason with others\, foster independent learning. \nWe will cover a range of stimulating philosophical questions about fairness\, the environment\, friendship\, inclusion\, sharing\, right and wrong\, manners\, beauty\, pictures\, the emotions\, dreaming and reality and more. \nThis is a project which uses teaching resources developed in Seattle. See more about the project here https://vimeo.com/136588083 \nWorkshops are delivered by a SAPERE P4C facilitator \nNB:\nSuitable for children from the age of three upwards.\nThese sessions are for Children only – no parents allowed!\nParticipants will be required to keep their “Camera On” at all times.\nBefore the session PRSC will seek consent from parents / guardians to record the workshop to share in a digital archive\, but this is entirely optional and won’t affect your right to attend the session. \nTickets available now from Headfirst. The suggested donation of £4 will help us keep the School of Activism as accessible & low-cost as possible\, £8 will subsidise a ticket for someone else – but no-one turned away through lack of funds!\n\nThe School of Activism 2.0 is a two week programme of workshops\, talks and activities brought to you by Peoples Republic of Stokes Croft over the Easter holidays.

SUMMARY:Rebel History: The Struggle to Reclaim Our Past
DESCRIPTION:*** All School of Activism 2.0 events will be held online ***\nBook Tickets\nJoin poet Lawrence Hoo\, mentorist Michael Barnes-Wynters\, author Mike Manson and publisher Richard Jones in a discussion around what history we choose to tell and who gets to tell it.   \nWhat do you know about British history? Is it just a dusty list of kings and queens? A study of corn laws\, industrial revolution and empire\, with the occasional plague thrown in for variety? As we all know\, history is written by the winners so the history of rebellion\, civil disobedience and protest only ever gets a mention in the text books when a movement is so successful that it changes the cultural paradigm. \nThere is another history. One which shares stories from the powerless\, the excluded\, and those who fought injustice and got beaten down. This history is collected and shared by those who are passionate about our cultural memory and who refuse to allow history’s winners to be sole guardians of our story of the past. \nWhen Colston toppled into the water last summer\, this was a single decisive act in an ongoing public battle over our city’s history\, The protesters were demanding that we reconsider which people the city celebrates and who’s stories we tell. This is part of a deeper question about how Bristol – which prides itself on diversity and cultural expression – faces up to the brutalities of our past. Only time will tell how history will record Colston’s swim in the harbour\, as a natural step towards a more inclusive representation of Bristol’s past or as a moment of vandalism by a rowdy mob\, but we all have a part to play in choosing the stories that are told and remembered within our culture. \nLocal organisations such as Cargo and the Bristol Radical History Group dedicate themselves to ensuring that the history of struggle for social justice and equality is remembered and that\, as a culture we don’t hide from the darker stories of our past. \n\n7pm – screening of a 10 minute film called ‘Battling for Bristol’ by Colin Thomas of the Bristol Radical History Group – following 150 years of protest movements in the city\n7.15pm – 30 min talk on the story of the Bristol Bridge Riot of 1793 from Richard Jones of Tangent Books and Mike Manson author of the book Riot\n7.45pm – 30 min talk from poet Lawrence Hoo about his latest project Cargo Movement\, why it exists\, what it is trying to do\, and why reclaiming history is so important\n8.15pm – 15 min break (for the smokers\, tea addicts & those with weak bladders)\n8.30pm – 30 min talk from Michael Barnes-Wynters about his cultural history project Dutty Lingo and how it was inspired by the riots that followed Mark Duggan’s death in 2011\n9-9.30pm – Q&A session / round table discussion on the importance of representation and remembering our past. This discussion will kick off with the question What did it mean when Colston’ statue hit the water?\n\nTickets available now from Headfirst. The suggested donation of £4 will help us keep the School of Activism as accessible & low-cost as possible\, £8 will subsidise a ticket for someone else – but no-one turned away through lack of funds! \nFeatured image is a photo of an installation by street photographer Colin Moody which featured at the People’s Art Fair in September 2020. \n\nThe School of Activism 2.0 is a two week programme of workshops\, talks and activities brought to you by Peoples Republic of Stokes Croft over the Easter holidays. The workshops are intended to be empowering experiences equipping people with the tools to challenge the status quo\, contest power structures and ultimately to change the world.\nWe learn by doing.\nWe make our own future.\n\n\n\nSchool of Chativism\n\nIf you're feeling hyped about all this educating\, and you wanna connect with other SoA students to talk about what you've learnt\, and/or discuss the future of ethical social media\, then this is for you... \n\n"The School of Chativism is an experimental social media space that will run for the duration of the School of Activism 2.0.

SUMMARY:Sleeping Rough - Screening with Q&A
DESCRIPTION:*** All School of Activism 2.0 events will be held online ***\nBook Tickets\nReal Stories of Street Homelessness \nSleeping Rough is a community-based docudrama about street homelessness. Using real interviews conducted with members of the homeless community all around the UK\, the film follows three characters and the circumstances that force each of them to sleep on the street. Produced in collaboration with The Big Issue Foundation and Cardboard Citizens\, shot on location and with actors with personal experience of homelessness\, Sleeping Rough encourages understanding of the issues that affect those experiencing homelessness. \nThis film screening will be followed by a Q&A session with film maker and homelessness campaigner Owain Astles. \n‘Sleeping Rough’ follows three characters\, each on their journey to street homelessness: \n Jack is an engineer who\, through a chain of events\, loses his job\, his flat\, and his family.\nCatherine is a young woman who moves straight out of care into a flat with her boyfriend\, however it soon becomes clear that the relationship is emotionally abusive\, and with no-one to turn to\, she escapes onto the streets.\nEva is an immigrant who\, to avoid being deported\, accepts a job where she is underpaid\, overworked and exploited. Soon\, she too decides to escape. \nAll the events in the film have been described to us by people with lived experience of street homelessness\, and everything that takes place has happened to someone; it’s real. While the events follow a script\, all the dialogue is improvised\, and was established through a series of rehearsals between Owain Astles\, the film’s director\, and the film’s cast\, most of whom have experience of homelessness themselves. Many of the scenes in the film were shot on location\, in shelters and soup kitchens\, and on the streets of London and Bristol. \n \nTwitter: @sleeproughfilm // Facebook: @sleepingroughfilm // Instagram: @pastlespro / #SleepingRoughFilm \nTickets available now from Headfirst.

SUMMARY:Know Your Rights: A Guide to Homeless Services in Bristol
DESCRIPTION:*** All School of Activism 2.0 events will be held online ***\nBook Tickets\nOur regular Tuesday afternoon Street Survival drop-in session for rough sleepers is being taken over for the School of Activism 2.0. \nSince September 2018 the PRSC has been distributing sleep pods\, blankets\, tents and sleeping bags to rough sleepers in Stokes Croft\, and we are often faced with simple questions we can’t answer – where can I get a shower? How does the council decide who to house? Where am I allowed to pitch a tent?  \nThe murky world of homelessness services can be hard enough to navigate at the best of times\, and that’s not usually when people need them. With a spike in homelessness predicted at the end of both the furlough scheme and the moratorium on evictions\, the questions of where people are and aren’t allowed to sleep\, and what services are available to them have become ever more urgent. \nStep forward Richard Drake of the Bristol Homeless Forum\, who will use this session to offer a personal view on services available pre-COVID\, what’s changed during COVID and how it might change coming out. \nRichard Drake first got involved with homelessness in Bristol as a volunteer with Caring at Christmas nearly 20 years ago and is currently a volunteer and trustee with the Julian Trust\, a trustee with Housing Justice and helps to run the Bristol Homeless Forum. \nTickets available now from Headfirst. The suggested donation of £4 will help us keep the School of Activism as accessible & low-cost as possible\, £8 will subsidise a ticket for someone else – but no-one turned away through lack of funds! \n\nThe School of Activism 2.0 is a two week programme of workshops\, talks and activities brought to you by Peoples Republic of Stokes Croft over the Easter holidays.

SUMMARY:Art for Social Change
DESCRIPTION:*** All School of Activism 2.0 events will be held online ***\nBook Tickets\nWhen done well\, art can give voice to the voiceless and bring visibility to those that are hidden. Art is a powerful tool to change the world. \nPhotographers Anthony Luvera and Rory Carnegie have both created fascinating collaborative projects in partnership with rough sleepers. \nIn his project Assembly Anthony Luvera invited people experiencing homelessness to use disposable cameras and audio recorders to document their experiences and things they are interested in. Anthony also worked with participants to create Assisted Self-Portraits in places significant to the individual. \nHis exhibition Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) was exhibited at the PRSC last winter. It featured questions about homeless provision sent to hundreds of councils across the UK and responses received from the councils. This exhibition was made in partnership with the Museum of Homelessness and FAQ was previously shown at Tate Liverpool. \nImages from FAQ exhibition & workshops at PRSC November 2019 \nFor his project ICON\, Rory Carnegie teamed up with the charity Crisis\, and arts centre The Old Fire Station in Oxford to reproduce iconic British photographs with homeless people as models. PRSC is working with Rory & the Old Fire Station to bring the ICON exhibition to Bristol. \nIn 2002 Rory worked with young asylum seekers in Oxford\, helping them to produce images & text exploring their experiences and exhibiting the results in the entrance space at Modern Art Oxford. \nHomeless people recreate a classic Beatles image for Rory’s ICON project \nIn this evening\, Rory and Anthony will present these projects\, discuss the experiences they had making this work and share the principles and priorities which led to them creating such important work. \nThis talk will look at the way that artists can choose to empower or diminish their subjects\, the way that power relationships between artist and subject can either reinforce or challenge current inequalities\, and at the responsibility that artists have to consider the impact of their work in the wider social context. \nTickets available now from Headfirst.

SUMMARY:Philosophy for Children in Bristol? Planning Meeting for Families & Educators
DESCRIPTION:*** All School of Activism 2.0 events will be held online ***\nBook Tickets\nPhilosophy\, the “love of wisdom\,” begins with wonder about the world. It is one of the oldest academic disciplines\, but traditionally it has not been considered a subject for children. Yet young people ask philosophical questions and are curious about philosophical issues: \nHow do we know things? What is beauty? How are the mind and body connected?\nYoung people do not need to learn philosophy; it is something they do. \nPhilosophy For Children is a project developed in Seattle.
