Sunday, June 9,  2024, Radical Sunday School: Student Movements, Then and Now. From Maagdenhuis to Binnengasthuisterrein. From 17:30 till 20:00.

They say “revolutions happen before the revolutionaries know what’s going on”, and in both the cases of the Maagdenhuis occupation (2015) and the Binnengasthuisterrein barricades (2024), organizers were take by surprise when masses of students occupied university buildings. Reflecting on the almost 10 years that have passed, we should wonder: what can these occupations tell us about revolutionary organizing, sustaining movements, and radicalizing new people (especially those outside the bubble)?

Discover how they mobilize national networks of committed tenants, volunteers, and action groups to fight for housing rights. As a self-help organization, BPW empowers tenants to take action, fostering a sustainable movement for housing security.

We’ll explore real-life examples of how BPW has successfully drawn public and political attention to the issues faced by precarious tenants, through articles, demonstrations, and direct action. Whether you’re directly affected or want to support the cause, this workshop provides practical insights and steps to join the fight for housing justice.

Join us and be part of a growing movement dedicated to ensuring housing security for all. Together, we can make a difference!

Radical Sunday School: Burnt Out? Health and Illness Under Post-Fordism

By: börek - May 12th, 2024  Filed under: Workshop

Sunday 12 May 2024, Radical Sunday School: Burnt Out? Health and Illness Under Post-Fordism. From 18:00 till 20:00.After the Second World War, the dominant mode of the organisation of economic production was Fordist, meaning that workers were employed in large factories on permanent contracts mainly performing carefully determined physical labour that did not require much creativity. However, during the 1970s, a shift occurred in this mode of production and the new era is often referred to as post-Fordist. This means that nowadays, workers are more likely to be employed on fixed-term contracts, working several part-time jobs rather than one full-time one, and performing more emotional, intellectual, or creative labour. The use of the term burnout emerged together with post-Fordism and it became a very popular buzzword. We often use it to describe any negative feelings we have that are related to work. But what does this term actually mean? How accurately does it describe our lived experiences? How can we regain control over our perspective on health, illness, and work?
