Thursday Night Talk. Indigenous Education in Chiapas, Mexico

Since the Zapatista uprising of 1994, the indigenous communities of Chiapas have embarked on the path of constructing their autonomy. A cornerstone of this has been the development of their own unique education system. This talk is a firsthand account of some of the key features of this 'other education', its impact on communities, and its broader implications.
