Brisbane Free University will be launching this week with a discussion on the topic: ‘Why Free University? Re-imagining Education’.

To kick it all off, BFU co-founders Anna Carlson, Fern Thompsett and Briohny Walker will discuss the vision behind BFU and why the free university movement is of critical importance in our world today. They will be joined by guest speaker Dr Gerhard Hoffstaedter, UQ lecturer and co-founder of Melbourne Free University, the first of its kind in Australia.

We then invite everyone to participate in an open discussion on the future of Brisbane Free University – we’re keen to hear your ideas about what you would like a free university in Brisbane to be.
