Tales from the Night School...

The Team from Fraser ACE Adult Community Education

As the designated first aider, Adrian needs to be ready for action at any point.

One night a tutor called, concerned for a student having an unexpected diabetic low. Adrian had managed to devour all the Minties in the office so they had to come up with a solution. Fate has it, the Cake Decorating class was running and they always have chocolate.

So Adrian explained the situation and was given a handful of emergency chocolate. We were delighted when it was reported that the chocolate did the trick and the student was able to continue with their class that evening.

Parking

Rosemary from Morrinsville

I'm heartily sick of people who think it's ok to park across a footpath, especially in the Lockerbie area. I find I have to walk my dog on the road to get past and I can't begin to think how a wheelchair (pushchair too) user would manage. I take a photo of the offending cars and if … View moreI'm heartily sick of people who think it's ok to park across a footpath, especially in the Lockerbie area. I find I have to walk my dog on the road to get past and I can't begin to think how a wheelchair (pushchair too) user would manage. I take a photo of the offending cars and if they persist I'll notify the council. It's as bad as the ignorant people who think it's ok to park in a disabled car park.

EarthDiverse is pleased to announce it's newest Philosophy course, entitled "Philosophers Behaving Badly" available both in-person (in Hamilton, New Zealand) or live-streamed via Zoom to anywhere in the world with a decent internet connection.

How often do philosophers of ethics call their mothers? We expect philosophers (lovers of wisdom), to live up to their ideals – those involved in the pursuit of virtue and truth. With a nod to the book of the same name, this 4-week course expands on this theme and examines philosophers who’ve fallen short of this standard, beginning with Socrates and on up to modern times with thinkers like Nietzsche and Heidegger. It’s the old adage – do as I say, not do as I do.

Course begins on Wednesday mornings 11:00am-1:00pm starting 26 July 2023 (NZ time).
For other time zone equivalents around the world please visit the course page at courses.earthdiverse.org.nz...
Please note that this course takes place over 4 consecutive weekly sessions only.
