CAE Course Update
Another Perspective on Learning (aka Richard Stone) is pleased to report that a series of lectures focusing on Renaissance Florence have been successfully delivered for the Council of Adult Education (CAE). Providing a mixture of history, art appreciation and travel advice, the three sessions were well received by a responsive audience.
Further lectures addressing a variety of historical, cultural and literary topics will be presented over the next few months. Next up was to be a four part look at Soviet Russia from 1917 to 1953 entitled The Art of Revolution, but sadly this course has been cancelled due to insufficient numbers. However, an extension of the Florence lecture series may run as a replacement. Watch this space!
A series of five lectures – Revelatory Voices – considering the life and work of a selection of early to mid 20th Century authors is scheduled to begin mid-October. Take a journey through Medieval France later that month with Cloisters, Cathars and Cathedrals or explore the Great War from an Australian perspective by following the path of a young recruit growing up in a newly federated nation. Spain: Selling the Truth will look at the propaganda wars within the brutal Spanish Civil War.

The above Short Courses are all scheduled for a late morning timeslot, but it may be possible to consider extra early evening presentations for those who have daytime commitments. Let me know if you think this option may be worth pursuing.
There are plenty more lectures in the APL cupboard awaiting an audience, so if you or an acquaintance have an interest in History, the Visual Arts, Literature, Theatre or Music History and would like an opportunity to extend your knowledge, please advise. This will assist with future planning. Information about the contents of the cupboard can be found here:
