Edmonton Free School creates a time and a space in which to share knowledge, interests, and skills, for everyone and anyone both inside and outside of the university.

We seek to establish horizontal learning practices. At Edmonton Free School classes are proposed by anyone: “I want to learn about feminism and popular culture, or I want to teach about direct action in the workplace”; then, everyone can join the classes through our website, “I want to discuss Godard films too!”; finally, the school provides a meeting space and supplies. Edmonton Free School supports autodidactic activities, operating under the assumption that everyone is equal and has an equal capacity to learn.
