Course description
Reading uplifting stories together is a wonderful activity that can boost your mood. Being in a supportive group, sharing wonderful tales - both from books and our own lives can enhance our wellbeing.
In this course you will read a short extract from modern fiction and life writing during the class. The materials chosen are short and on resonant themes such as love, friendship, community, moving home and special occasions. A glimpse into other peoples’ lives which will help us reflect on our lives and how to create a good life. Guided by the tutor, you will discuss thought-provoking questions and draw out your positive life stories and life lessons.
During the course, each learner will be invited to write one short piece to share with the group or share a story that stuck with them over the years.
This is for people who enjoy reading, are interested in discovering new stories, learning from different cultures and meeting new people.
