Relearn is a collective learning experiment with as many teachers as it has participants. It is motivated by the possibility to displace parameters of/for research, studying and learning. <ahref='#'class='more'>Read more about Relearn.</a>

Relearn is a summerschool which welcomes persons, artists, students, teachers from all backgrounds and disciplines. Participants will gather to learn from and teach to each other, beyond the traditional paradigms of education.
Relearn researches convivial, experimental and deviant methods and means in the fields of design, computing and education, challenging the normal roles and separations in them (teacher/student, developer/user, art/life…).
</p>
<p>
Free, Libre and Open Source Software plays a fundamental role at Relearn, as it facilitates a different approach to the tools we commonly use in our practices and lives. For instance, it can allow us to understand the influence that tools themselves exert on the way they are used, or the different social relations and economies that are formed between who creates and uses them. Such a questioning approach to technology feels urgent, in a time in which more and more social, political and personal issues are addressed by solely technological means.

This summer, Relearn is back in the form of a curve, transversing multiple times and spaces. Curl yourselves this summer from, to and between Rotterdam, Brussels and Paris ! <ahref='#'class='more'>Read more about the curve.</a>

These would be independently organized sessions based on the urgencies
and affordances of each of the participating spaces. However, there
would still be a common thread throughout the series, perhaps in the
form of a transversal “reroam” but also in the form of a roaming server
that is passed on to each subsequent event.
It is possible to attend all sessions but not required, nor the goal, it
is really the intention to have self-standing events which do not depend
people joining a succession of events but still share commonalities.

Since 2013, several initiatives have been experimenting with making printed publications using HTML/CSS/Javascript with the help of CSS regions. This feature is necessary to produce multi-paged publications and since its removal from Blink (2014) and in WebKit (2017), users are trapped with old versions of WebKit. Sticking to older version is still viable today but for how long?
</p>
<p>
This urgency leads us to a quite pragmatic but necessary worksession which will therefore focus on exploring other tools for making printed publications, especially computed layout tools (making layout with code). We already spotted three tools we would like to explore, but anyone is welcome to propose and experiment with other tools:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><ahref='https://xxyxyz.org/'target='_blank'>Flat</a></dt><dd>A Python library made to draw graphics but also designed to produce multi-paged PDFs.</dd>
<dt><ahref='http://sile-typesetter.org/'target='_blank'>Sile</a></dt><dd>A contemporary rewriting of the TeX mastodon.</dd>
<dt><ahref='https://www.pagedmedia.org/paged-js/'target='_blank'>paged.js</a></dt><dd>A Javascript polyfill of CSS official specs for printed documents.</dd>
