Adult Education opportunities with U3A Roseland and District
If you love a subject sufficiently enough to want to share your knowledge and skills why not try the University of the Third Age Roseland and District, where you could become leader of a group teaching and learning at the same time.
Unlike conventional adult education, the U3A does not have a teacher to student relationship but a situation of ‘one amongst equals’. What this means is that you do not have to have qualifications in your subject, nor teaching itself, just a desire to learn more and share with fellow members.
For just £12.50 you may enjoy until the end of March 2010 several courses in adult education.
