Hear Oscar Negrin from Caracas, Venezuela

Public Meetings

Tuesday 7th December

University College London

Venue: Jeremy Bentham Room, UCL, just next to the UCL library, in the main building

Address: Gower Street – London – WC1E 6BT

Wednesday 8th December at 7pm

Headland House, National Union of Journalists,

308 – 320 Gray’s Inn Road, London WC1

Oscar Negrin is the headteacher of the Juan Bautista Alberdi school, which was taken over by the community almost two years ago. The school was ordered to close by the mayor as part of the conspiracy to destabilise the Chavez government in December 2002.

During those first days many schools were taken over by their communities, including “Juan Bautista Alberdi”. Immediately a “Committee in Defence of the children of the school Alberdi” was founded by the students, the parents’ assembly and other representatives of the community. Faced with the bosses’ lockout they decided to take control of their school and restart classes. The Alberdi School became a real educational centre, where there is a growing understanding of how to fight for a more just and dignified world. Today, this school has become the centre of organized development of the community and a symbol of the Bolivarian Revolution.

Come and hear about the heroic struggle of the Venezuelan People! All Welcome! Plenty of time for questions and discussion.
