Afri Hedge School 2014

Awakening Conscience: Standing up for Justice, Tackling Climate Change, Opposing War and Militarism

Room A57, Aontas Block, I.T. Blanchardstown

9.30am - 4pm, Tuesday 11th November 2014

In our history, Hedge Schools were places of learning, continuity and resistance, emerging out of the draconian Penal Laws that forbade formal education to most Irish people. Learning about and resisting the causes of poverty is at the heart of Afri’s work and the Hedge School symbolizes the kind of resilience and creativity needed to address the crisis facing our world as a result of climate change and the obscenity of the war industry.

The 2014 Hedge School will explore the themes of climate change, conflict and militarism from the perspective of conscience. This year's Hedge School is organised in partnership with the students from the Social and Community Development Course from I.T. Blanchardstown.
