Mission Statement

The Calgary School of Informal Education (CSIE) is a network of peers who facilitate classes, workshops, and skill-sharing events outside of a traditional institutional setting. Our classes and events are for people to share knowledge and experiences, make connections, and learn from one another. CSIE makes space for anyone to come together as we are– queer, trans, femme, racialized, neurodivergent, low-income, marginalized in other ways, and active allies who follow safer space standards.
