Currently running at the KK Outlet Gallery in Hoxton, What Next? a series of exhibitions, workshops and panel discussions discussing what young people think of economy, equality, digital politics and education. During 25th – 30th June the theme up for discussion will be education, accompanied by live printing from over 12 illustrators from People of Print in response to questions around tuition fees, internships and the future.
Education panelists for the discussion on education include Michael Slavinsky, Brilliant Club; Ed Stephen of Hoxton Hall; Members of Precarious Workers Brigade / Carrotworkers’ Collective; Stephanie McLaren, twenty%extra; Anthony Burrill; French, Artist / Illustrator; Lucy Inkster, UpRising.
Lawrence Zeegen, Dean of Design at London College of Communication will chair the discussion.
Get your ticket for the discussion at 7-9pm on Thursday 28th June through eventbrite here.
Topics up for discussion:
•Is the university system relevant? With rising tuition fees, less jobs available for graduates, does a university education matter as much as it used to? Is vocational training a better option.
•Are Internships glorified free labour or a genuine route into a fulfilling and fruitful career?
•Is the rise in tuition fees creating an elite of those who can & those who can’t afford to go University?
