Radical Sunday School: Emotional Labour: Education, Support, and Self-care

By: börek - June 26th, 2025  Filed under: Workshop

Sunday June 29, 2025, Radical Sunday School: Emotional Labour: Education, Support, and Self-care. From 18:00 till 20:00.Managing emotions, both our own and other’s, is hard work. We live in a world that expects many people to keep their emotions bottled up, to cater to the feelings of others and to stay calm and patient in the face of oppression.

Even among activists and anarchists, there is a lot for us to learn: Why does so much emotional labour happen behind the scenes? How can we set and respect boundaries? How do we consider the invisible work done by others? How can we create a supportive environment together?

In this session we will talk about topics such as what emotional labour is, our experiences with emotional labour, and the issues that come along with it. […Lees verder]

Monday June 23, 2025, Solidarity VoKu for The Freedom Theatre in Jenin Occupied Palestine. Food served from 7pm, no reservation!

The Freedom Theatre stands for Resistance through Art. It has been repeatedly attacked and severely damaged by the brutal occupation of the Israeli army. Its artistic directors and participants have been harassed, incarcerated and tortured in an attempt to suppress every voice of resistance. Still The Freedom Theatre stands strong and continue to spread the words of liberation, participatory arts and human dignity.

The Freedom Theatre in her own words:
“The Freedom Theatre is a theatre and cultural centre in Jenin refugee camp, occupied Palestine. We stage professional theatre productions, hold theatre workshops in the refugee camp, Jenin town and villages, offer training in acting, pedagogy and photography, and publish books, exhibitions and short films.
Since we opened our doors in 2006, we have made theatre and visual art available to every young person in Jenin refugee camp. Our work has made Jenin refugee camp known in Palestine and internationally for innovative, thought-provoking theatre and media productions. We have created a generation of artists and leaders, who one day will be at the forefront of the Palestinian liberation movement.”

By: börek - June 22nd, 2025  Filed under: Workshop

From 18:00 till 20:00.What does it mean if your body doesn’t fit the capitalist standards? What are those standards? How do they impact our personal lives? And how does that translate to the standards raised in our social movements?

How mutual can mutual aid be if it is only accessible to people who fit within those boxes?

During this session of Radical Sunday School, there will be a space to talk about peoples’ own personal experiences, realities, and expectations put upon them in regards to their body, and the margins they exist in. We will be looking at this topic through an intersectional lens and discuss ways to exist within our own right! […Lees verder]

Radical Sunday School: Anarchism 101: Worldbuilding?

By: börek - June 13th, 2025  Filed under: Workshop

Sunday June 15, 2025, Radical Sunday School: Anarchism 101: Worldbuilding? From 18:00 till 20:00.This week at Radical Sunday School, we’re getting back to an old favorite: Anarchism 101! We’ll be talking with a long time anarchist organizer from the Vrije Bond about some tricky questions, like:
– Why is the world the way it is?
– What does ‘materialism’ mean and what do anarchists think of it?
– How do we build power? Do we want to?
– How do we change the world by working together?

This isn’t going to be some stuffy theoretical lecture – we’re going to focus on how our experiences have shaped us, and see how by working together, we can materially build the world we want to live in! Of course there can be plenty of disagreements, but always in the spirit of learning from each other. By the end, we hope everyone leaves with just a few more tools to bring into their politics, their activism, and maybe even their taste in music? […Lees verder]
