Lawn School is a series of free classes, lectures, discussions and workshops that occur on the lawns of public parks throughout New York City. They are open to any and all to teach and attend. The goal is to facilitate an open and welcoming learning environment in a public space, provide an opportunity for those who wish to teach a course or share a skill with interested peers to do so, and engage a diverse audience who is interested in learning but otherwise may not attend public lectures or peer to peer skill share.
