<p><em><b>Occupy, take over. But what then?</b></em><br>
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: </p><p></p><blockquote class="webkit-indent-blockquote" style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;"><i>How
were these occupations organized? </i><p><i>What were their goals? </i></p><p><i>Why did they
decide to organise in a direct democratic way without leaders?</i> </p></blockquote><p></p><p>We have
invited two Croatian guest speaker from this movement to tell us more.

<p>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.</p><p>Here you can find some background articles on what happened during the Zagreb University occupations: <a href="http://slobodnifilozofski.org/?p=1527" target="_blank">article on the five-week occupation</a>, an article in the journal <a href="http://slobodnifilozofski.org/?p=2031" target="_blank">Radical Philosophy</a>.</p>
