3. INTRODUCTION: THE START OF LIBERTY CLASSES
Liberty Classes started in the minds of young leaders in Ukraine during the winter of 2015. It
was created to deal with disappointment in the static public educational system and its
inability to present new forms of learning and teaching. An uncompromising need for change
was raised from the Euromaidan. Revolution built the confidence that students are key
figures in introducing new ideas in the rocky path to reshape Ukraine as a modern country
with libertarian values.
This movement was followed by student leaders in Lithuania. Local liberty activists decided
to take the same outlook to deal with the lack of academic approach in economical, social
and political issues. They found that the most suitable format to acknowledge Lithuanian
society was Liberty Classes.
So we encourage you to take this handbook as a simple but powerful tool to use your
abilities and imagination to implement new forms of activism on campus in the road to
freedom.
