Geschichte

Who we are
The Autonomous School Biel (ASB) is based on people from all over the world connected by solidarity and the will to share and learn from each other. We believe that knowledge and education should be open to all people in equal measure no matter what background they have. Diversity is enriching society and should not be locked out. We support independent and critical ways of thinking.

What we do
The Autonomous School Biel is a place of exchange. We put our knowledge voluntarily at the disposal to create opportunities for free exchange of knowledge and social interaction.

We are no traditional school; we are organised democratically without hierarchical structure. We function independently from state and market economy and we aren't bound to any religious or political institution. The ASB is open to all people; everybody can be a teacher and/or a student. The school is organized and managed collectively by all participants.

What you can do
Everybody can participate because everyone has some knowledge or skills to share. For sure you know one or more languages, you have some computer skills, you can cook a special dish or you can tell us interesting things about your culture. Or maybe you are the most talented person for organizing nice barbecues at the lake? Let us know about your talent and start to be a part of the Autonomous School in Biel.

We are curious to learn from you.

History
Since its foundation in the year 2010 the Autonomous School is a thriving educational, cultural and social centre. More than 40 participants are engaging in the activities at Villa Fantasie, where rooms are provided by the Autonomous Youth Centre Biel (AJZ/Chessu).

Political position
The Autonomous School primarily is a place for learning and social interaction but still has a political position. We act according the basic idea of worldwide solidarity; we refuse any kind of racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination. We criticize a homogenising nation bound concept of society and advocate equal rights for all humans independent of origin or gender.
