New classes<br />
at Canterbury<br />
WEA (Workers<br />
Educational<br />
Association)<br />
The Canterbury WEA may be over one<br />
hundred years old and be based in a character<br />
building in the city but that does not mean it<br />
has old ways of thinking or that the courses<br />
it offers are old fashioned.<br />
This term we are offering a number of new<br />
classes to tweak your minds and bodies. Belly<br />
dancing for beginners is a cultural experience<br />
as well as a gentle form of exercise and it is<br />
not just for women. Men are very welcome.<br />
The Nordic walking course begins a bit later<br />
in the term and will be making the most of<br />
Hagley Park and the gardens which are so<br />
close. Kazuko is a multi-talented addition<br />
to our tutor list and her Japanese Culture<br />
course will include music, drums and harp<br />
included, food, Ikebana, calligraphy etc.<br />
the music theory class is for beginners but<br />
is also for those who think they may need<br />
a refresher to help then regain skills and<br />
confidence in reading music.<br />
The Social issues soapbox is a series<br />
of one off sessions with speakers on the<br />
Environment, Housing, new Science,<br />
Politics, Economics etc and speakers we<br />
have include Sam Mahon, Dr’s Sylvia Nissen,<br />
Susannah Finlay, Libby Caygill and others.<br />
People who know what they are talking<br />
about and want to be involved in discussion.<br />
Check our website at cwea.org.nz and<br />
