EarthDiverse Term 4 Language courses:

And don't forget to check out our Term 4 Language courses in Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi and Urdu. These are offered both as in-person classes in Hamilton, with live-streaming distance-learning options and the ability to watch the video recorded sessions at a time of your choosing to allow you to study at your own pace.

All of our Term 4 Language courses are continuing from previous semesters, but please consider brushing up on one of these languages if you already have some background in one of our current offerings. New class intakes in all of our languages (i.e. Introductory 101 courses) begin in Term 1 and Term 3 each year. New languages (e.g. Japanese) are coming in 2021 Term 1, so stay tuned!

All of our language courses start the week beginning Monday 19 October and are offered at different times and dates.

For more information on our Language classes, and our other History, Religious Diversity, and World Mythology courses, please see our website.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
