<li style="margin-left:15px"><i><b>The Coloniality of
Solidarity</b> - Rubén A. Gaztambide-Fernández</i></li>
</ul>
Solidarity figures prominently in educational projects
committed to social change. Yet what precisely solidarity
entails, for whom, doing what, and under what conditions
is usually only vaguely defined and often in contradictory
terms, even when solidarity is a centrepiece of the work
at hand. In this brief talk, Gaztambide-Fernández will
unpack what the multifarious uses of the concept of
solidarity reveal about the colonial and racist
underpinnings of the concept and how these are revealed in
contemporary uses. He will argue that without paying
attention to its colonial and racist underpinnings, any
project that invokes the concept of solidarity risks
reissuing these logics.<br>

is Professor of Curriculum & Pedagogy and
Editor-in-Chief of the journal Curriculum Inquiry at the
Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the
University of Toronto. His research and scholarship are
concerned with questions of symbolic boundaries and the
dynamics of cultural production and processes of
identification in educational contexts. His theoretical
work focuses on the relationship between cultural
production and solidarity.</i></div>

(un)learn?: some ideas around issues of
solidarity, community and pedagogy</b> - Javier
Rodrigo</i></li>
</ul>
This presentation will explain how to approach solidarity
issues through pedagogical projects in Barcelona, Spain,
by examining two particular, contrasting experiences. One,
is in collaboration with a group of youth migrants, in the
context of a memory museum. The other is a community-run
theatre, based on participatory budgeting and direct
democracy with special emphasis on community and
intercultural criteria for programme development. Both of
these examples are presented in order to raise the issue
of the need for an institutional pedagogy and to raise a
core question of cultural institutions: How do
institutions (Un)learn?<br>
