● Gdansk: lack of scholarships for PhD students, who first (in November 2008) decided to
act within the available organizational framework – first-year students “took over” the
PhD Student Council.
● need for an active and open organisation empowering students' voices and articulating
their grievance against the security policy at the university (increasing number of cameras
inside buildings, fencing of the previously open campus, and security guards controlling
everybody who enters the library).
● first meeting - March, 11, 2009, around 50 people turned up and there was a heated
discussion about everything that should be changed at the university.
● Otwarty Komitet Uwalniania Przestrzeni Edukacyjnych – Open Committee for the
Liberation of Educational Spaces
Organizational structure
● Based on:
● Consensus decision-making
● Working groups for particular issues
● Sign language at the meetings
● Online discussions between meetings
