Join our Community on the Peer 2 Peer University

Alongside the Creative Activism class we have also been experimenting with using the Peer 2 Peer University as a platform for bringing people together in our community.
The Peer 2 Peer University is a grassroots open education project that organizes learning outside of institutional walls and gives learners recognition for their achievements.
This fits in nicely with the aims of the Creative Activism class: to help create and share open resources as well as encouraging collaboration.
The class has been a featured course on the site for a few weeks now. Come and join our community on the Peer 2 Peer University
The Creative Activism Online Daily Newspaper
January 28, 2012 By Leave a Comment
During the class we will be using a platform called Paper.Li to publish a daily newspaper that aggregates all of the news from our Creative Activism participants.
It works by looking for the #creativact hashtag and then aggregates the news, links and videos into an online newspaper. It’s great for people who want to stay up to date with the course but haven’t got time to trawl through everything on twitter.
When the class has finished we aim to keep it running on a weekly basis. You can subscribe to the Creative Activism Online Newspaper here
Welcome to the Creative Activism Open Class – Now in Session
September 12, 2011 By Leave a Comment
This class will explore the potentials of creative media activism through encouraging ‘live’ creative interventions and participation in cultural, political and social debates.
Throughout the 10 week class we will be exploring how media activists and campaigners have used their media knowledge, connections and skills to ask difficult questions, provoke debate and raise awareness of important issues and problems in their local, national and international communities. We will be putting up a number of lectures, tasks, podcasts and other resources online to help you.
It is an activity-led class where participants will be choosing an issue that is important to them and working on a series of real and situated tasks that will aim to provide them with a number of and skills and abilities.
By being run as an open community it will enable participants to constructively critique, learn from, build on and collaborate with each other to produce a body of work that will, hopefully, make a practical and positive impact on the issue the students are addressing.
If you are interested in getting involved, or just want to stay up to date with the work of this class, please join us here or post comments using the #creativact hashtag. We look forward to hearing from you.
