Weekly Update

Welcome to this week’s weekly links. Winter is coming… as they say in the Game of Thrones! And we are aware of the difficulties that this brings. The cold, wet and dark nights can have a negative impact on our wellbeing. We have also just heard that we are going into tier 3 restrictions from Monday. This means we will be unable to run face to face courses. Please don’t despair and see below some courses you can still get involved with or without the internet. You might want to look at this workbook called How to Beat the Winter Blues. It has several suggestions that may just help!

Only a few spaces left

Don’t miss out and book onto one of our blended learning courses. On a blended learning course, participants will receive a printed workbook to complete work. As well as this there will be other options to take part in other activities online such as discussions on Microsoft Teams and/or through a private Facebook group. This means if you don’t have access to or you are not so confident in using the internet you can still take part. Click here to see what is on offer! Courses coming up! (please note Creative Writing is now full!)

Discover 2020 – Oral History Project

If you have not done so already please go and find out about Discover 2020 – Lockdown Stories.  Participants were recorded talking about how they have coped and what they have felt and thought whilst being in lockdown during the pandemic. Many of you will relate to the thoughts and feeling expressed in these conversations. Thanks to Michael, Gary, Tony, and Maria for all their hard work getting this project off the ground!
