Creative Writing: Return of the Short Story
The short story is making a comeback - varied, rule-breaking and fun, interest in this once side-lined form is expanding. Writing a compelling short is a craft within itself and sometimes regarded as a ‘dark art’ - Does every word really need to count? When does the story really start? When should it end? We explore the varying forms, cross the genres and consider the outlets. There’s never been a better time to find inspiration and get motivated, if you have an idea for a story - now is the time.

A friendly and accessible course looking at a selection of 5 films from France, we examine, have fun and discuss a selection of often overlooked works from France, some classic and some more modern. A selection of ‘convention breakers’, you may wonder why you’ve never seen. This course aims to promote knowledge, understanding, appreciation and confidence regarding film and cinema in general, whilst also aiding our critical thinking and well-being in general. We consider running themes, artistic intentions, critical and audience appeal then and now. Identifying differing techniques and approaches, historical context; whilst also highlighting specialist language and terminology: developing communication skills and confidence in delivering informed feedback.

History: What really led to The Second World War?
Churchill said: ‘It could have been prevented without a single shot being fired, but no one would listen.’ His counterpart, Neville Chamberlain, wrote: I know I can save the country and I do not believe anyone else can.’ Some in France, meanwhile, initially failed to take Hitler seriously. Unlike Poland, both France and Chamberlain have been blamed for failing to stand up to Hitler. But is this fair, given the memories of the First Word War? Beginning with the Polish port of Gdańsk (Danzig) and the ‘Polish Corridor,’ this course explores how Britain, France, Germany and Italy became involved in one of the world’s most formative events whose legacy continues to be felt today.

History: Germany between the Wars - Part 2
At the end of the First World War, Germany underwent dramatic change. The Kaiser abdicated, and the country emerged from a period of autocratic rule to embark on a bold and (on paper) very progressive experiment in republican democracy. At the same time, the victorious allies of the Great War imposed a punitive peace treaty on Germany at Versailles, reflecting their belief that Germany has caused the war and should pay the price. These changes, together with other factors such as the worldwide economic situation between the wars ushered in a period of social, political and financial turbulence in which Hitler and the Nazis would eventually rise to power.
