Educational Classes

Classes

There are many workshops currently running in BDSM communities around Australia and KNOTbound seeks to enhance these offerings on an ad hoc basis. Ad hoc educational classes have generally been offered by KNOTbound on topics that are not currently being covered by other organisations or people to ensure a stable base of information.    As part of our educational program we will be seeking grants to create a more robust educational offering system including more online educational tools and classes/materials developed to target specific demographics rather than the more generic one size fits all that currently exists.  For example older people coming into our community are disadvantaged in making connections or finding people to learn with.  Younger groups tend to avoid traditional learning models, making them a higher risk group.  Middle aged people often have young children and have many questions about how to manage their lifestyle interests in balance with their family life. 

KNOTbound also seeks to help stabilise education in our communities, offering a consistent core of foundational education that can be drawn on at need.  Many community events and offerings are built around individuals.  When those individuals leave our communities due to choices, illness or death, these offerings disappear and educational gaps are created in our communities.  By creating a flexible and adaptable educational system that is not based on individuals, we seek to mitigate these “losses” of knowledge.  

These courses are open to the general public.  Basic introductory classes are free of charge.  Advanced classes are currently priced at $10 a class to cover venue costs, re-affirming our commitment to free and low cost education. A list of past classes can be found at the following link under Completed Events: http://KNOTbound.com.au/events/.

Current workshops, classes and events will be listed on our Education page as they come up.
