expedition freedom intro
DESCRIPTION
In September/October 2013 we plan to make a tour throughout Greece, visiting communities that are building new ways of living – in the heart of crisis, austerity and bankrupt state. We want to learn from those, who do not despair, but struggle day by day to keep Greece alive and thriving. We will share their stories with the world over internet video stream, video blogging, articles, documentaries. We shall tell the world that people can live in dignity, in solidarity, even if opressed by global crisis and powers that be. And that they are doing damn well! In the beginning of June 2013 I am coming to Greece for a preliminary research trip. I would like to meet you and learn your story. If you want to, please contact me over internet, or talk to my Greek friends.TRANSCRIPT

#FreeLab WTF?
In technology, agriculture and governance:
● We learn what really works.
● We improve it.
● We spread this knowledge.
Knowledge is power.
Power to the people.
That simple.
FreeLab mission explained
● Global capitalism is now global abuse
● Republican democracy only serves politicians.
● Humanity lost it's resilience.
● Parties, churches, movements, media:
none of them knows how to deal with it.
It's the end of the world we know.
Something good is happening.
Right now.
Really.
Meanwhile in Greece.....
They said „No one is alone in this crisis.” And they mean it. Doctors, nurses, social workers. Unpaid, overworked, struggling for elementary provisions, they provide treatment not just for bodies, but for souls.
Worthy children of Asklepios!

You can't? We can!
When management literally abandoned the factory, workers secured the place and – after over 18-month legal & political struggle – took the company over and started the production as a cooperative. Just this February.

They pop out of the blue!
In September/October 2013 we plan to make a
tour throughout Greece, visiting communities that
are building new ways of living – in the heart of
crisis, austerity and bankrupt state.
We want to learn from those, who do not despair,
but struggle day by day to keep Greece alive and
thriving.
Time to go and see...
We will share their stories with the world over internet video stream, video blogging, articles,
documentaries.
We shall tell the world that people can live in dignity, in solidarity, even if opressed by global
crisis and powers that be.
And that they are doing damn well!
...and to tell the world!
Let's meet and talk about it
In the beginning of June 2013 I am coming to Greece for a preliminary research trip. I would like to meet you and learn your story. If you want to, please contact me over internet, or talk to my Greek friends.
