The Workers and Punks’ University (WPU) was established by the Peace Institute in Ljubljana in 1997 as an educational project. It is an informal educational platform based on egalitarianism and openness and rejecting the mainstream patterns of knowledge production as followed by official universities and the arbitrary divisions between social theory and practice.
