Mon 1st Feb, starting at: 10:30 AM

Each participant to undertake some background reading and during class participation present and discuss the facts. Given we will from time to time discuss issues that people feel strongly about, the objective is to present various arguments which participants can consider. Hopefully, we can all learn more and become better informed about a current issue. We hope also to utilise various media options (radio interviews, Slow TV, iview) as a basis for input on various topics.
