Curious about socialism? Interested about if it is really possible and taking a sober look at the problems it will face? Want to discuss how to begin affecting change right now? 

In these uncertain and dangerous times, The Leo Panitch School for Socialist Education is a space to listen, discuss and challenge the contemporary relevancy of socialism.  

The School’s flagship course, Introduction to Socialism, is designed for both those experienced activists always looking to learn more, and those newer to socialist ideas and full of questions. It will not only provide a unique venue for collectively tackling important topics, but also a welcoming space where any question relevant to socialist organizing, no matter how basic or advanced, can be raised and discussed.

Classes will be taking place weekly on Sunday afternoons (times TBA) from April 6 until May 25.

Participants are encouraged to attend each class if possible, as each week will expand on ideas introduced in the previous sessions. Classes will be taking place in downtown Toronto (venue info to be announced). This edition of the course will be in-person only.

Please share this course with friends and colleagues! We welcome to people to bring along others who would like to participate. We kindly ask that each individual who will be taking part registers. This is to ensure everyone receives the most up to date information ahead of the course start date. 

Not able to attend every session in person? No problem! Recordings will be made available to those who might have to miss a session or two throughout the course.
