What does qua­li­ta­ti­ve edu­ca­ti­on mean?

Five ado­les­cents known at school as ​“trou­ble­ma­kers” turn the tables and start tea­ching the audien­ce. They won­der if a tea­cher can be more than a conduit of know­led­ge. They ask them­sel­ves whe­ther uncon­scious racism at school still deter­mi­nes who gets oppor­tu­ni­ties and who doesn’t. And ques­ti­on which socie­tal expecta­ti­ons are reflec­ted in cur­rent school rules. 

They are experts in pro­vo­king the ruling autho­ri­ty. But this time they are the ones tea­ching. What does it mean to always be the excep­ti­on? What do we learn from what doe­sn’t suit us? 

Dissident is a mix of live acting and docu­men­ta­ry film mate­ri­al in which parents, tea­chers, youth wor­kers and the school are also invol­ved. Slowly, the sta­ge trans­forms into the sanc­tu­a­ry the young peo­p­le so dee­ply long for.
