Ithaca Freeskool Call for Winter Classes

ITHACA, NY – December 27, 2012 – Ithaca Freeskool is looking for  
passionate people who want to share their skills and knowledge in the  
upcoming winter session, February 1st to April 30th, 2013. Class  
proposals are due on January 4th and should be submitted online at http://ithacafreeskool.wordpress.com/get-involved 
. The winter session class calendars will be released at the January  
10th Trampoline Presents storytelling event at Lot 10 near the Ithaca  
Commons.

Ithaca Freeskool is a grassroots, all-volunteer community-building  
initiative that creates spaces where people teach and attend classes  
with one another without cost. Primarily, but not exclusively geared  
towards adults, anyone can teach and anyone can attend.
Class proposals are being solicited on any and all topics of interest  
to the community. Past classes include "Intro to Bioregional Mapping,"  
"Cloth Diapering Basics," "Eating & Identifying Wild Plants,"  
"Traditional & Experimental Animation" and many more. Teachers can  
choose how often in that three-month period they want to teach their  
class. Single-session classes are welcome. The teacher should choose a  
day and time that works for them and find a space. Classes have taken  
place in people's homes, public parks, local coffee shops and  
community centers.

Organizers promote classes by distributing calendars throughout the  
community and listing classes on the Freeskool website as well as on  
Facebook and via local email lists. Teachers are also encouraged to  
create posters for their classes and do what they can to help with  
promotion.

Ithaca Freeskool is looking for new volunteers and organizers! To get  
involved, email Lily Gershon at pipylotta at gmail.com.
