Chugging Along & Building Speed - Slowly

reposted from Tuesday, February 2, 2010

Enthusiastic good wishes have been coming in for the past few weeks as people notice that the Catalyst Centre is becoming active once again. People around the world have heard the news (or received one of our e-mails) and are sending us lots of good cheer. And compared to ten years ago when Catalyst started it seems that interest in popular education has grown steadily. We hope to connect some of this interest and do our part to contribute to the sharing of resources and praxis.

However, as the headline to this post implies, response to our course offerings has been slow. While we’ve been receiving a few registrations each week, we haven’t yet reached critical mass to start workshops as quickly as we’d hoped. It turns out that managing e-mail lists is slow work. Alas. We are thus postponing the some events. Specifically, Not Just a Bag ‘o Tricks this Saturday, February 6th is now rescheduled to Saturday, February 27. Enough to Go Around: An Introduction to Popular Economics will begin on Tuesday, February 23. And the first round of Here and Now (Thursdays, February 11, 18 & 25) is cancelled; this series will begin with the March round (Thursdays, March 11, 18 & 25).

Please help spread the word.
