Submissions are open for Antiuniversity Now Festival 2026. I’ve been involved with the festival for the past 3 years, and it’s a wonderful community event!
The festival is a fantastic place to try out a new idea, teach something you’ve wanted to teach for a long time, or meet other people who care about peer learning and building a community of free and alternative learning.
You can register an event here: https://festival.antiuniversity.org/
Ahead of the festival, we’re running some fun events to bring together people who want to participate in any way:
A picnic in Haggerston park on Sunday, 23rd of August
An online session for folks who want to talk to us about their event ideas on Tuesday, 25th of August
Some time in September, I will be running a facilitator training session for anyone who wants to think about how to run a great event
