Learning happens
at any time and a
good discussion
helps it happen
Lifelong Learning is not just about older
people learning. It is about good discussion,
taking risks and accepting new challenges
and opening your mind to new ideas. At any
age.
I sit in my office and listen to a group
discussing a wide range of issues in the next
room. Some of their viewpoints I agree with
and some I don’t and I can tell that they do
not all agree with each other. So they discuss
intently then they laugh and have lunch
together. They continue to sort out the world
and issues as far apart as Use of Technology,
Autonomous vehicles, Importance of Art,
Relevance of religion, Veganism, City
transport, Competition in sport, The moral
maze etc.
Kazuko has just completed a series of 3
sessions transforming a room into a place
to absorb Japanese culture while in another
a group discuss “Arguments, Fallacies and
Trickery”. Why can some people argue really
well and others cannot?
Our term 2 programme will is available
online now and enrolments can be made
