Drumbeat/events/Festival/Barcelona/OpenRaval

Vision

This is a proposal for a learning, teaching and experimenting space that takes place at the hearth of Raval's neighbourhood in Barcelona, a temporary autonomous zone for sharing, testing and showing how digital and open resources are already a part of youth's culture, a driving force for reshaping society and the way we can create knowledge.

Goals

1. Set a temporary open classroom based in learning corners where we can test some of the edupunk, OER and Drumbeat's best approaches, philosophies and methods;
2. Engage kids and teenagers from Raval's neighbourhood in the proactive celebration and performance of their digital/multicultural citizenship;
3. Highlight and remix local projects and people working together on the field from different initiatives and institutions, as well as pointing to new possible synergies, plans and processes for help turning the Raval area into a digital learning network;
4. Give ideas, tools and freedom of action to youth people so they can keep control over their learning interests, deciding which are the important things they want to learn, teach or discuss about their lives and environment.
