Sunday January 12, 2025, Radical Sunday School: Public Intellectuals – Why would anyone listen to Jordan Peterson or Slavoj Žižek? From 18:00 till 20:00.By being involved in various leftist and/or educational spaces, I have noticed quite a few recurring behaviours regarding knowledge production and sharing, that I found somewhat toxic, even if the people exhibiting them, had the best intentions. And, in my immediate environment, I heard similar complaints from others over the years. By now, I had enough experiences to understand, interpret, and even handle these issues in my day-to-day life, at least to the extent that I can organise a discussion around the topic.
So, this evening, I invite everyone to share their experiences with toxic behaviours regarding knowledge and learning in communities, and think about potential solutions for these problems together.

Monday January 6, 2025, Benefit VoKu for Takland Vrijstraat. Food served from 7pm, no reservation.

Takland is a squatted house and social center that’s been running since Kingsday 2023, when we declared ourselves independent from the Dutch state. For the past months we’ve been hosting a weekly jazz bar with different musicians opening and a jam session after. Running the space, getting all the equipment and also maintaining the house costs a lot of money and energy. So come by for some great food and to support another social center so that we can also host benefits again.

Raising Radicals

By: börek - January 5th, 2025  Filed under: children's activity, Meeting

Sunday January 5, 2025, Raising Radicals, from 14:00

Een maandelijks ouder-kind-cafe maar dan een beetje anders. Misschien komt er af en toe een specifiek thema aan bod zoals; welke acties zijn veilig met kinderen en welke niet? Of misschien is er soms een leuke activiteit voor kids, of misschien is het gewoon al leuk genoeg om te kletsen met politieke activistische ouders en kunnen kids lekker met elkaar spelen, klagen over hun hippy-ouders whatever. Alle input en ideeen zijn super welkom, idealiter gaat het zichzelf een beetje organiseren en ben ik alleen de toevallige starter van het geheel….. Stuur graag door naar alle ouders die zich thuis voelen op een plek als Joe’s Garage ♥️&✊🏼✊🏽✊🏿&💩

Idea is a monthly parent-child cafe, but a little different. Perhaps a specific theme is discussed occasionally, such as; which actions are safe with children and which are not? Or maybe there is a fun activity for kids, or maybe it’s just fun enough to chat with political activist parents and kids can play with each other, complain about their hippy parents, whatever. All input and ideas are super welcome, ideally it will organize itself a bit and I am just the coincidental starter of the whole….. Please forward to all parents who feel at home in a place like Joe’s Garage.
