The concept of university is awesome. For generations, it has been a sacred place dedicated to exploring and expanding important ideas. Yet, in modern times, with massive loans, industrial size lecture halls, and bureaucracy ad nauseam, maybe something important is being missed.
Could it be different? What if university was… free? And, what’s more: no commute, no exams, no stress. And what if school grew our capacity to dream together and take action to make those dreams a reality in your own neighbourhood? Is it possible?
YES! Gentle Fernwoodians, your educational utopia has arrived!
Join us at the Cornerstone Cafe every Tuesday evening starting January 17th, 2012 at 7:30pm, where we will be holding classes, which will cover a variety of topics centered on successful community building. We’ve crafted an inspiring syllabus based on Fernwood NRG’s Values and Principles and have a plethora of knowledgeable speakers ready to share their expertise and engage you in constructive discussion afterwards.
Fernwood University is your chance to connect with the bright and engaged minds, hearts, and souls of your neighbours. FERNWOOD you are incredible, and we need your keen intellect, creativity, positivity and huge smiles to make this neighbourhood everything we’ve ever dreamed of!
As with everything Fernwood related, Fernwood University is a collaboration. We welcome any suggestions, comments, or concerns you may have; contact mila@fernwoodnrg.ca. Feel free to let us know how we can make your University something spectacular.
See you there!
Note: The Cornerstone Cafe will will be open during the hours of Fernwood University (Tuesdays from 7:30pm to closing) but customers will be directed to use the back door. Most space in the cafe will be allocated to Fernwood U. You are welcome to join in, find some space or grab a coffee to go.
