Radical Sunday School – From Housing Insecurity to Collective Power with the Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW)

By: börek - April 11th, 2025  Filed under: Workshop

Sunday April 13, 2025, Radical Sunday School – From Housing Insecurity to Collective Power with the Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW). From 18:00 till 20:00.Housing is not a privilege, but a civil right. And yet, more and more people are forced to live insecure, facing temporary housing contracts, poor quality housing and unaffordable rents. This growing group – the precarious tenants – is told that precarious living is normal, but we at the BPW (Bond Precaire Woonvormen) don’t agree with that.

That’s why BPW and RSS are organising the Living Struggle workshop: From stress to collective power. We explore how to stand your ground, build counter-power together, get moving and keep going – without exhausting yourself. What concrete strategies are available to help push back even if you find yourself facing a housing problem on your own? How do we stay connected and grow as a movement when housing insecurity tears down our communities?

This workshop is for anyone who is facing a precarious living situation, willing to support those who do or seeking solidarity. Prior experience in housing activism is not needed. Together, we’ll build a more accessible and powerful movement.

Radical Sunday School’s second birthday party

By: börek - April 5th, 2025  Filed under: Feest, Muziek, Poetry, Theater, Workshop

Sunday April 6, 2025, Radical Sunday School’s second birthday party. From 12:30 till 23:00.

Radical Sunday School is turning two! Since April 2nd 2023, we have been hosting all types of workshops, discussions, and skill shares almost every week for two years, and WE WANT TO CELEBRATE!
Come join us for a whole day programme! Get cozy at Joe’s and join us for lunch, two amazing workshops, dinner, and an open podium – a day and night you cannot forget.
Thank you to everyone who has been with us and who is curious to see what we do!
Drop in and out whenever – for the workshops, for the food, for the open podium, for the company. We are so happy to celebrate our second year with all of you!

Programme:

12:30 lunch
13:30 – 16:00 first session: Theatre of the Oppressed
The ‘Theatre of the Oppressed’ is a method that allows us to express, manifest, and tackle social oppression. During this workshop, we’ll play, and through playing we research, grow and share perspectives on the personal worldly.
We’ll work with the theme of the day, ‘Communal learning’ and research what that could look like by and through playing theater together.
There’s absolutely no theater experience needed, the workshop facilitator will guide you through the workshop.

16:30 – 18:30 second session: Communal Learning: Confronting Hierarchies Together
Even when we say we’re against all forms of oppression, our radical spaces still have hierarchies. Some people talk more. Some experiences count more. Perspectives are disregarded. Voices go unheard.
What does it mean for those voices to go unheard? How do we actually create room for those on the margins? Let’s cut through the academic bullshit and contradictions, and have an honest conversation about how to actually listen and learn – on how to actually center marginalized voices.
We’ll discuss historical, cultural practices together: practices of learning, of community, and of dialogue, that may help us to learn from and with one another. To create a space where power is genuinely shared, not just talked about.

19:00 dinner
20:00 open podium
As part of our celebration we are hosting an Open Podium! Every radical soul is welcome to take the stage, front and center, and express themselves! 🖤 ANYTHING GOES! Music, poetry, spoken word, theatre, comedy, stories, essays, two minute RANTS, drag – you name it! No microphone – not amplified – bring your own equipment – Joe’s Garage is intimate enough! Time limit of 5-7 minutes for each performance to give everyone the chance to take the stage.
