CASTRO launches a new project: a library on the theme of alternative education, radical pedagogy and informal learning. The library is built collectively with local and international artists, curators, educators and researchers who contribute to the library by suggesting a book that was important for their practice and their understanding of alternative education. The texts in the library will provide different angles and approaches to the topic and will form the basis of a library which will be always expanding and that will nurture a dialogue on the topic between the local and the international scene. The library is freely accessible at CASTRO and it will continue to expand over time.
