EarthDiverse Term 3 Language, Religious Diversity & World Mythology courses
EarthDiverse is pleased to announce that Term 3 Registration is now open for our Language, Religious Diversity and World Mythology courses that begin the week of Monday 27 July 2020. We now offer Distance-Learning options for those outside the Waikato or for those who prefer to learn at their own pace and in their own time. Our courses are now open to anyone, anywhere, and at any time!
We now offer both beginning and Intermediate Language courses in Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi and Urdu. We plan to offer additional languages in the future.
Our 14 distinct Religious Diversity courses are offered on a rotating basis throughout the year, with Term 3 courses on ‘Hinduism’ and ‘Religious Fundamentalism & Extremism’. Future Term courses rotate through all of the main faith traditions.
We're also pleased to announce our newest series of courses on World Mythologies! Our Term 3 course is entitled ‘Grand Narratives and Mythologies in the Western Traditions.’
We're also especially pleased to be able to offer three distinct options for learners: 1) In-person classes in our Hamilton classroom, 2) on-line live-streaming distance-learning classes via Zoom, and 3) learn at your own pace and at more convenient times by watching the recorded video sessions when your schedule allows.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
0% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
0% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
0% ... It is complicated

Hamilton City councillors have signed off on a plan change that could see Te Rapa Racecourse swap stables for townhouses.
The deputy mayor says this paves the way for “basically creating a new suburb within the city”.
