DIY Education Collective

DIY Education Collective is a new non-profit workers' cooperative which has been established to support groups of people to organise their own environmental popular education events based on their interests and concerns. We are a popular education organisation committed to supporting groups of people in learning together about matters that are important to them. Popular education is education which assumes that all participants have knowledge and experience to share, and that everyone's experience is valid. It is politically engaged and endeavours to support the overcoming of oppression. It aims to be a process through which communities make change themselves, according to their own concerns and realities. In addition, popular education engages with the social and political context in which it takes place. DIY Education Collective aim to share and support popular education which engages with the reality and severity of the current climate crisis across the world and in the UK. Our work with diverse groups of people in areas suffering from environmental injustices will focus on issues and problems important to the groups.
