Liberatory Education Workbook

This workbook is created by Spring Up as a space to reflect on their pedagogy and tools for liberatory education as solidified in their online school platform, bluelight academy of the liberatory arts, after 10+ years of development through community, youth, and organizational education spaces.

A great reference for designing liberatory learning spaces in community or in formal education settings, this workbook includes scenarios about how to put your principles into practice when it comes to disability justice, LGBTQIA inclusion, countering anti-Blackness, and more. The authors share about Spring Up’s pedagogy, their core pillars of facilitation, how they see oppression showing up in learning spaces, and how to practice harm reduction and shift towards more liberatory learning spaces. This workbook also shares some of their favorite practices and games for fun digital learning spaces on zoom, how they address harm in learning spaces, and how to care for yourself as an educator / facilitator.
