The Public School Berlin+ A User´s Guide: counter education.
- The Public School Berlin .
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL is a school with no curriculum.

- The Intention; Las Lindes; 15M presented by Marta de Gonzalo & Publio Pérez Prieto .
Marta de Gonzalo & Publio Pérez Prieto are artists and high school teachers based in Madrid, developing a theoretical work and artistic practice on audiovisual literacy and critical pedagogies. They are involved in teacher's training, education of artists and self-representation projects with youth. They understand the cultural production as poetic and formal instrument of representation that guide to personal and collective critical attitudes.

A User´s Guide to the Millenium
Coordinated by Regina de Miguel, María Ptqk and Lorenzo Sandoval.
This is the second of a series of sessions devoted to the backstage of artistic and cultural projects: money, precariousness, legal stuff, education, pedagogy, working conditions, etc. Those issues we usually address when the public event is over and we go for a beer, as if they were not a structural part of what we do (even though we know they are).
