Hi,
I took this from an email list about Eastern Europe. Has anyone got experiences in this light?
Although allied to the Anarchist Federation in Poland, this is an independent self-organised initiative that's had a big boost by the loony right wing Catholic govt that's in power in Poland, and their mad activities in education.
Regards
Martin

People from the anarchist Students Initiative (high-school students) are looking for similar student organizations in other countries for exchanging experiences, contacts, etc... They are involved in anti-government protests, organizing self-eucation and spreading ideas about alternative schooling models.
Quote:
On friday students from the Students Initiative organized an open-air lecture in front of the Ministry of Education in Warsaw. The topic was "sexual eduction" which has been banned in schools by the right-wing government.During the lecture useful information about contraceptives was given and students could learn more than just the "calendar method" or the
"abstinence method" that they can learn on religion lessons in schools.This time, the police wasn't called on them, largely because the government is falling apart and the minister of education was busy trying to save his governmental ass.
Can comment on articles and discussions
The SSP's youth wing has been doing pretty interesting work (judging from the distance of the internet) in distributing sexual health information and condoms in a 'fuck abstinence' campaign due to the abstinence favoured approach to such matters adopted by the Scottish Pairlament. Pretty direct echoes of the situation maybe faced in Poland, be good to take a gawk at what the SSY sorts have been doing.
