University Open Air

Join Brooklyn Public Library and Prospect Park Alliance for University Open Air, a free series of classes taught by immigrant scholars who were trained outside of the United States. University Open Air provides a platform for the talent and wisdom of New York’s local immigrants who might not otherwise have the opportunity to teach in the United States. They will be teaching classes under the trees in Prospect Park, and learners of all ages and levels of experience are welcome to attend free of charge. Classes and workshops will be offered on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, September 19 – September 29.

Your professors will be teachers, researchers, professionals and academics educated at institutions around the globe offering courses in the social sciences, humanities and other disciplines. University Open Air is a space for lifelong learners to gain knowledge and experience in dialogue with a community of thoughtful educators and fellow students. *Please note that these are not accredited university classes.

Classes will take place outside along the lawn surrounding the Boathouse in Prospect Park.

Individual class times and registration will be available in the beginning of September.
