The Workers' Punk University - Delavsko-pankerska univerza (DPU) - is an educational project that provides opportunities for active education (lectures, discussion groups, reading seminars) on contemporary political topics tacitly ignored by most of the established academia. For some time now the self-contained knowledge of the established university has failed to address issues in the fields of punk, labour and other marginalised groups, ie the watershed social and political reality of today. In the past years DPU has addressed these gaps with lecture-cycles such as 'Revolution', 'Neo-Conservativism', 'The New Right', 'The Left', 'Utopistics', 'May '68: reVISION' and 'Love and Politics', 'Post-Fordism', (drawing on the most diverse sources, including Gandhi, Freud, Arendt, Marx, Rousseau, St Augustine, St Paul, Adorno, Foucault, de Sade, Lacan, Negri and Virno), 'Political Ecology', ' On Sin', 'Totalitarism', 'Stupidity', 'School as Ideological Economy Apparatus ' in the 2009/10 season. In its socially-reproductive function the established university is closely related with the existing social hierarchy: the university favours a typifying and utilitarian knowledge and grooms the future work force by virtue of its examination regimes. Thursday lectures – about 20 per year - are held at Klub Gromka. As the 'invisible college' the Workers' Punk University seeks to provide an alternative to the established university, not merely on the level of content but also in terms of its organisational structure, consequently it is organised and led by the students themselves. In the season 2007/2008 the DPU has launched a film seminar called Filmski krožek (themes: film comedy, the new Hollywood, the American 'black' film) has been launched in collaboration with Retrovizor.
