Solidarity Schools – Mesopotamia Description: Groups of teachers in collaboration with local grassroots collectives kicked off solidarity school-tutoring, demanding the use of local schools for this function or holding solidarity classes in local social centres. Departing from the experience of solidarity teaching for second generation migrants and refugees, these schools are self-organized, horizontal and engage parents, students and teachers in decision-making processes, linking also the school with the local community and broader socio-political issues. Ola (Open Lab Athens) supports the solidarity school of Mesopotamia through the configuration and maintenance of the school’s e-class systems and the design of the school’s self-assessment questionnaires. Location: Community. Period: 2018 Partners: Open Lab Athens (GR).
