APL / CAE Course Update
Another Perspective on Learning (aka Richard Stone) is pleased to report that several new Short Courses have recently been delivered for the Council of Adult Education (CAE) in Melbourne.
The first, a four session course, was entitled A Paddle in Plato’s Pond and explored a region of the Mediterranean Sea including Crete, the Aegean Islands and South Western Turkey. Rebels and Reactionaries addressed cultural life in Australia during the 1930s. This course was designed to complement a current exhibition at the NGV. The tragic genius of Oscar Wilde was the subject of a short study, and was followed by the first of an ongoing series of introductions to Shakespearean plays. Currently running is a course on the early years of the Cold War.
Another dip in Plato’s Pond will take place in October with the journey continuing northwards along the Turkish coast. Also coming up in October and November are return seasons of Spain: Selling the Truth and Germany Between the Wars (scheduled for early evening timeslots) and a course on the cultural life of the French Revolution.
More APL Gallery visits and “in-house” sessions on great artists will also be offered in coming weeks. Meanwhile, the Sunday evening Music/Travel sessions at Forest Hill are continuing to prove popular.
