The Utopia School is a nomadic learning project for people who want to share information about both failed and successful utopian projects, and who want to work towards new ones.


 


For the month of August 2016, Utopia School will take up residence in Christiania at Byens Lys, where residents and organizers will work together to run the space. For us, utopias are those spaces and initiatives – at any scale – that reimagine the world in some crucial way. The school takes the form of a pop-up social center, with the aim to create free space to teach and learn, share food, and connect. Everyone is invited to participate: as a builder, teacher, learner, videographer, alchemist, or with your own specialized contribution. We invite each participant of the school to bring their knowledge, experience, and perspective to share, either as a visitor or a live-in resident. Here is http://utopiaschool.org/node/166/schedule" target="_blank">the class schedule from our last month-long session for reference.



The school will be open to the public five days a week, with communal meals on some of those days. Anyone can show up and participate, but in order to teach a class or be a resident, get in touch in advance http://utopiaschool.org/contact" target="_blank">here.

It will be possible to propose a class or residency after the Utopia School has begun, but because resources are limited, we request a letter of interest for the first round of scheduling by May 6th. Please include the nature of your proposed contribution, your availability in August, as well as your ability to participate with/without financial support in the body of the message. You do not necessarily need a project idea if you’re applying as a resident: Just tell us about yourself, what you can bring to the Utopia School, and why you want to be involved. If you’re late, contact us anyway, we want to hear from you!
