L'Université autrement : Dans les cafés crée des lieux de rencontre et les met à la disposition des citoyens intéressés à continuer d'apprendre ou d'approfondir leur engagement à la faveur de discussions publiques et collectives. Ces cafés permettent à des individus de divers horizons et réalités de se rencontrer, dans un cadre où tous les gens et toutes les perspectives sont les bienvenus.
The University of the Streets Café creates gathering places for community members to pursue lifelong learning and engagement in the form of collective discussions. They are an opportunity for people of diverse backgrounds and realities to meet, where all people and perspectives are welcome.
“The more there is suffering, then the more natural their sufferings appear. Who wants to prevent the fishes from getting wet? And the suffering themselves share this callousness towards themselves and are lacking kindness towards themselves. It is terrible that human beings so easily put up with existing conditions, not only with the suffering of strangers but also with their own. All those who have thought about the bad state of things refuse to appeal to the compassion of one group of people for another. But the compassion of the oppressed for the oppressed is indispensable. It is the world’s one hope.” – From Bertolt Brecht The World’s One Hope
