Mo 1 Nov. 19.30: Films & Discussion – Lessons from the Zagreb
university occupations<http://kritischestudentenutrecht.wordpress.com/2010/10/26/occupy-take-over-but-what-then-lessons-from-the-zagreb-university-occupations/>

*Occupy, take over. But what then?*
Students of the University of Zagreb (Croatia) will present their struggle
and actions. Croatian students have been fighting since 2008 for free
publicly financed higher education on all levels . During this struggle they
have organized two large scale occupations in more than twenty faculties and
universities, many protest actions and other activities. We will be showing
films and have an open discussion:

*How were these occupations organized? *

*What were their goals? *

*Why did they decide to organise in a direct democratic way without leaders?
*

We have invited two Croatian guest speaker from this movement to tell us
more.
*Monday, November 1st 19:30*

This Croatian student organisation is based on non-hierarchical and direct
democratic organisation. The students’ actions are not just concerned with
higher education, they also support workers’ strikes and protests and try to
spread ideas of direct democracy and self-management in all sectors of
society.They have become one of the principle opponents of neoliberalism in
Croatia as well as one of the leading forces for social change.
