Trade School London - what can you teach / what can you learn?

Part of the growing global Trade School Movement, Trade School London is opening in nearby Dalston on 22nd March

Trade School is a non-traditional learning space where students barter with teachers.

After you submit your class idea, when you'd like to teach, and what you want in exchange for teaching, Trade School organizers will review your submission. If your submission is approved, it will be posted on the website for students to sign up. On the day of class, you will meet your students at Trade School, receive your barter items, and enjoy the class.

Your class can be about anything and can be structured in any way you like. Just be sure that you feel comfortable setting the tone and sharing information. You are in charge during your class! Past topics and approaches to teaching have ranged from butter-making workshops to foraging walking tours; from business lectures to group discussions. We find that students want to get to know each other, so classes work best with break-out groups, work in pairs, and lots of student participation.

Classes will be for 4 weeks Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons from 22 Mar 2012 to 26 Apr 2012. It will be held in the lush green rooms of FARM:shop Dalston – surrounded by growing food, and the burble of the indoor fish tanks.
