Flower power: Cuttings from feminist, queer and pragmatic teachings

Flowers are everywhere. In the look of the school institution itself, in popular sayings, in social liberation movements, in Buddhist teaching, in cemeteries and at weddings. They are used to fête people and things, though they can also cause offence; some are decorative, some are opiates, others are edible, and they all bear fruit.

Following this line of thought, the aim of this workshop is to gather together this wealth and eclecticism to foster the individual and collective ‘flower power’ of people working in any field of education. We’ll pull out the weeds, hoe the earth, fertilise it and sow it and then let nature play its part.
