School Of Love 
"School Of Love (SOL) is a place to be. It brings together people who care for exploring modes of being together. The world enters School Of Love through its participants - their stories and desires are the perspectives through which questions are asked and actions are taken into fields of social engagement, cultural activism and art. 
We like to think of school as an environment for people to dwell in, but also as an open tool available for modification and influence of its users, like any free software tool. Out of the many definitions of political love, SOL is attracted to the one describing love as the willingness to come undone, the choice to open your heart to an encounter with the “other” by allowing it to destabilize what you thought you were before that meeting. 
The idea that love is charged with potential to change the world's politics make us ask: How to take care of what’s between us, within us and other than us? Would training the capacity for (a non romantic) love help getting there without fearing differences? How to teach love without imposing ideologies? How to develop schools that teach how to challenge the status quo instead of how to adapt to it?"
