Radical Sunday School: Open Session, Theory & Practice

By: börek - February 14th, 2025  Filed under: Workshop

Sunday February 23, 2025, Radical Sunday School: Open Session, Theory & Practice. From 18:00 till 20:00.In this year’s second open session of Radical Sunday School, we wanted to reflect on what the activist community’s relationship with “theory” and “practice” is. How can RSS play a better role in supporting our community as we try to make the world better?

We have had sessions in the past that we feel have been a bit too “theoretical”, and so we want to hear from all of you: What does it mean to be “too theoretical”? What’s the right balance between theory and practice when it comes to radical education? What would your ideal RSS class look like?

This session is also an opportunity to get to know the collective, ask what we’re trying to work on, and how you can get involved yourself!

By: börek - February 14th, 2025  Filed under: Workshop

Friday February 21, 2025, Aman molli: Rebetiko concert with Kostas Patsis & Panos Tsamouras, door opens at 20:00, music from 20:30.

Aman molli and Joe’s Garage are hosting a rebetiko concert with Kostas Patsis (Bouzouki, vocals) and Panos Tsamouras (Guitar, vocals). They met at a rebetiko jam session where their musical connection became apparent: a shared love for Greek urban folk (rebetiko/laiko) of the early post-war era (40s & 50s). They strive to preserve the essence of the original recordings while at the same time injecting their own musical character into the songs and experimenting with original compositions.

By: börek - February 14th, 2025  Filed under: Workshop

Sunday February 16, 2025, Radical Sunday School: Why does everyone hate the NL? From 18:00 till 20:00.In this session, we will talk about what it is like to be a foreigner in the Netherlands, about making connection to the land and the people, especially when at heart you don’t believe in borders and nations. We will also talk about what it is like for Dutch people to see so many people from elsewhere come and go and how to share the beautiful parts of their country and culture. Together we will think about what we can do to enjoy living here and try to find an answer to “Why would anybody want to live here?”.

Radical Sunday School: How to Run a Community Dinner

By: börek - February 4th, 2025  Filed under: Workshop

Sunday February 9, 2025, Radical Sunday School: How to Run a Community Dinner. From 18:00 till 20:00.Have you ever been to a community dinner or “Voku”, and heard the people say “Do you also want to do a Voku?” But how do you actually do that? Where do you start?
Vokus are volunteer run dinners where they usually raise money for some cause, group or person in need. In many places this looks like a 3 course meal for around 50 people.
This Sunday at Radical Sunday School we are hosting a knowledge sharing session where experienced cooks from different social centers and to-be new cooks can gather and learn from each other.
We will talk about: where to get started, joining to help out, portion control and quantity estimates, skip, food safety, allergies, kitchen safety and cleaning. And much more!!
