Fartos de promessas que nunca são cumpridas e com o advento eminente da privatização total da educação. decidiram por mãos à obra e mostrar o seu descontentamento.
Recebi por email o relatório da mais recente actividade em Graz e francamente adorei o que li.
Deixo aqui o texto e o link para as fotografias.

"Dear friends and colleagues,
after some days of intensive preparation, today we had some worrying moments in the morning whether enough people would come and participate. But in the end we were around 30 people (according to police sources 20 ^^) and after some group photos we left our occupied building and the university campus and headed to the city centre of Graz. It was a very chilly (around -3°C) but clear and sunny day. On the way we got some really bewildered and surprised smiles because of the signs we carried, which said “Wir sind Istanbul”, “Wir sind Berkley”, “Wir sind Berlin” etc. (“Wir sind” means “we are”). In the main shopping area of the centre we distributed the group all over the length of it and started giving out our leaflets with informations about the international dimension of this protest.

We had some really interesting discussions with the passengers and after 45 Minutes we gathered again and started chanting, one calling the name of a city and the rest of us responding “Besetzt!” (occupied).
Then we sat down on the pavement for a short flash-mob reading our self-published protest-newspaper silently which we distributed to the passengers directly after getting up.
Then we all went to the main square of Graz and started using our megaphone: First we explained to all the passengers why we were there and talked about the fact that students protests are going on in so many countries. Then we passed around the megaphone, and the Human Rights article No. 26 about the Right to Education was read in English, German, French, Croatian, Hungarian, Italian, Greek, Swedish, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Kurdish, Latin, Esperanto and Portuguese. It was also presented in the Austrian Sign languages at the same time. One of the most moving moments of this day was the Turkish girl and the Kurdish boy standing side by side and reading a Human Rights article.
After that we went back to our occupied lecture halls to warm our frozen bodies again and have a hot soup.
It has really been a funny day with interesting experiences and talks and a strong feeling of solidarity with all the other protesting students.
We hope you can enjoy the pictures and we are looking forward to hear about your experiences!"
