Hi all,

Just got this in my mailbox, and thought maybe some members in the
wellylug might be interested in taking some computer related courses,
seeing as the venue is free...  Take a look...

> Hello from the DIY Education Network,
>
>
> We are a newly formed network of Wellingtonians that aims to stimulate
> and empower people to take an active role in educating themselves and
> others. To kick-start our project, we are having an open workshop
> weekend on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th of August, all day and into the
> night. We are extending an invitation to every person that is
> passionate about something to facilitate free workshops, from poetry,
> computer design and bicycle maintenance, to political philosophy or
> graffiti art - anything goes, as long as it is offered for free and
> open to all. To make the workshops as enjoyable and rewarding as
> possible, we challenge those who take on a role as facilitator to keep
> workshops free from sexism, racism, elitism and stress. These are not
> expected to be finely tuned, well practiced sessions - simply spaces
> in which people can meet, share their skills, ideas and knowledge with
> one another.
>
> We will provide rooms and resources free of charge for all workshops.
> We have various spaces available over three sites – a small workshop
> with assorted tools, three comfy meeting rooms, a bicycle workshop and
> Internet shop with 14 computers - as well as a data projector and AV
> equipment. All three sites are close to Wellington's inner city - Mt
> Cook, Cuba Mall's Left Bank and Abel Smith Street.
>
> The process for setting up a workshop, class or discussion group is 
as follows:
>
> Send us your idea for a workshop, class or discussion group, along
> with your contact details, resources you may need and your
> available/preferred time and day to openworkshops at gmail.com. These
> should be sent to us no later than the 26th of July.
>
> After finalising a timetable for the weekend, we will then print,
> paste and handout fliers and posters advertising the weekend.
>
> We are expecting that some of the groups formed for the weekend may
> wish to continue into the future. We encourage this and hope to
> provide support for any groups that decide to do so.
>
>
> If you wish to help with resources, donations or be involved in the
> network in anyway at all, just send an email to
> openworkshops at gmail.com and we can discuss it further.

> Thanks,
