The Left Student Campaign ( LiSA for short ) was a German nationwide association of politically left-wing students who jointly advocated better education and school policy. The existing order, especially in schools, was rejected by them as authoritarian ; it should be built up from the ground up in a liberal and democratic way. LiSA advocated free, self-determined learning and living in an emancipatory sense.
history
Originally there was the Liberal Student Campaign in the 1970s, which was close to the Young Democrats and was initiated by them.
Established in the mid-1980s as a school group (then Liberal Student Action) of the Young Democrats, LiSA attempted to politicize schools through school-specific topics, or to support it. LiSA's demands included the abolition of certificates and grades, drug approval , general political mandate for student representatives, and the abolition of the tripartite school system. There was no formal membership, but many of the students who were active at LiSA joined the Young Democrats . At times, members of the LiSA had considerable influence on various state student councils . Educational work for schoolchildren was organized mainly in North Rhine-Westphalia together with the Ludwig-Quidde-Forum. After many groups disintegrated in the early 1990s, LiSA was re-established in 1997 in Berlin .
In 2005 the LiSA was revived. In some cities in southern Germany, especially in Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate, LiSA groups were founded that were also networked nationwide. The websites of the LiSA groups have not been updated since 2007. Since then, no activity can be detected.
Principles
Basically, LiSA did not see itself bound by any ideologies or dogmas. What the members had in common, however, was a commitment to democracy, freedom and equality. LiSA shared its radical democratic understanding with the youth association Young Democrats / Young Left .
structure
LiSA had an open structure. No hierarchies could be identified in the structure of the network, there were no executive boards. Rather, the group was strongly federalist, i. H. the local groups were independent and not bound by decisions of higher levels. An exchange at the federal level nevertheless took place through regular meetings.
activities
- LiSA groups met regularly for regional and national events.
- LiSA published the radical democratic school newspaper radZ as a supplement to tendenz (newspaper of the young democrats / young left federal association).
- LiSA organized campaigns such as B. a campaign against notes, in which she was supported by various alliance partners. As part of this, testimony destruction campaigns took place in various German cities.
