El temor a que nuevas instituciones sean imperfectas, no debe justificar la aceptación servil de las instituciones actuales. -Ivan Illich, "Palabras a los estudiantes de la Universidad de Puerto Rico, Colación de grados, 1969". Una crítica severa a la escolariazión compulsoria en Puerto Rico, y un llamado a abolir la escolarización y reimaginar el aprendizaje en una atmósfera de libertad. La Escuela Pública La Ivan Illich está dedicada a temas relacionados a la práctica y pensamiento estético, y su relación con otros aspectos de la vida, lo que entendemos como un campo amplio. El costo de la clase varía: puede ser gratis o no, dependiendo de los recursos que se necesiten para llevar a cabo el proyecto. Algunos proyectos se podrán gestionar a través de economías alternativas, como trueque.

The fear that new institutions will be imperfect, in their turn, does not justify our servile acceptance of present ones. -Ivan Illich, from "Address to University of Puerto Rico students, graduating ceremony 1969", a brutal assessment of compulsory schooling, and a call to abolish schooling and reimagine learning in an atmosphere of freedom. La Ivan Illich is dedicated to ideas related to aesthetic thought and practice, and its relationship to many aspects of life, which we understand as a wide field of inquiry. La Ivan Illich is a structure through which diverse publics, fields, classes and subcultures can cross-paths, share information and experience, knowledge and skills. The curriculum is formed out of the needs, interests and skills of its users, and as such is an experimental project, in an exploratory and experimental phase. We are particularly interested in creating a space for ideas that do not live comfortably within existing academic institutions, perhaps because they are ideas not often discussed in depth, or because they require an interdisciplinary approach or a new format. Many of the courses generated for/from La Práctica will be offered to a wider public through La Ivan Illich. Any person may propose or sign-up for a course. Beta-Local matches up interests with experts or peers and facilitates the space and resources to make it possible. The format and location of each course may change with each new proposal. The cost of the class varies, it may be free or not, depending on the resources necessary to create the course. Some courses may be paid for through alternative economies, such as barter. |
