Summary

A FreeSchool is a non-hierarchical skillsharing network through which people can share skills and knowledge in an autonomous environment, through the delivery of workshops. Classes will promote alternative approaches to learning and living, building Hull's community by helping people network, build relationships and knowledge creating community cohesion in a city which suffers from high levels of social exclusion. Workshops will be held entirely for free and are for anyone of any age/ability. Our volunteer scheme will provide valuable experience like marketing, running workshops, managing allotments, working with vulnerable people, communicating effectively with minority groups and working in a team.

Hull has needed something like this for a long time. It will unite so much of the community and give people a forum and an outlet for their skills and ideas. I'm behind it all the way- vote vote vote!!
