Welcome to Partners In Learning
"In times of change, only the learners will inherit the earth" - Alfred Tofler
Southcott Pines Clubhouse
Grand Bend Ontario Wednesdays 10-12 and 2-4pm
Partners in Learning is a group learning opportunity for active-minded adults. Anyone wanting the fun and stimulation of learning something new is welcome.
Our programs are based on a peer-learning concept that has proven to be a great success in many communities throughout Canada and the world. A local, non-profit group of volunteers has undertaken to provide this unique community enrichment program in the Grand Bend area.
Courses are conducted in small, interactive groups in a relaxed environment. The learning groups meet together for 2 hours a week, on ten consecutive weeks to share ideas on the course(s) of their choice. It is a pleasant and stimulating way to keep your mind active and to meet others who share your interests.
A moderator acts as a facilitator to assist and encourage participants in the learning group. Each participant is encouraged to research and present a topic of their choice related to the course, followed by group discussion.
Membership is open to adults for $10 annually (Sept. – Aug.). A $35 fee applies to the first course and $10 for each addition concurrent course. Fees may vary depending on course length.
Moderators and course suggestions welcomed.
In the past, the sessions have covered topics such as:
- 'Lighthouses of the Great Lakes'
- The Purpose and Meaning of Life'
- From Distant Shores; the Immigrant Story and The Carolinian Forest
- Space, The Final Frontier
- Disasters of the World
- Psychology of Self
- Three Histories of Grand Bend
Ten week courses are held each fall and five week ones in the winter, with a shorter 'Potpourri' of subjects offered in spring.
'Socrates Cafe', provides the opportunity for an informal exchange of ideas in the relaxed atmosphere of a cafe setting at The Schoolhouse Restaurant, alternate Thursday afternoons from 2-4 pm.
Anyone is welcome to come to a session. Try it... you might like it!
