A critique of the current educational system, Justicia Global's student group
(formerly called Movimiento Sin Aula)
was formed out of the need to study, have discussions,
and develop our cultural consciousness in spaces outside the
classroom.
As youth, we assume an active role in the construction of
a new history. We challenge the myth that says that "kids today"
are ruled by apathy. We challenge passivity and indifference, knowing
that organization is the only way to achieve real social transformation.
We have four major working areas: Gender studies, Socioeconomic Analysis, Speed Reading/Study Techniques and an Artistic-Cultural Movement.
