We just arrived in denk:mal in Bern yesterday, which is a selforganised school run voluntarily by some young people,
that -at the moment- offers mostly language courses (German, Spanish, French, Turkish, Arabian), computer courses and some other stuff like cinema and yoga - for free.
The courses are organised by people, who want to teach something just because they like to and everybody can join the course if he/she likes to. If somebody wants to teach something the rooms are open to use without a rent.
denk:mal exists since several years now and has moved several times.
This - too small- building was squatted once, but now they have a contract with the city who owns the house, which allows them to use it for a symbolic rent.
Anyhow it is strange that cities don’t pay places like this in general… there should be much more, much better, bigger selforganised schools like this, everywhere!
