EarthDiverse Term 3 Language, Religious Diversity & World Mythology courses
EarthDiverse is pleased to announce that Term 3 Registration is now open for our Language, Religious Diversity and World Mythology courses that begin the week of Monday 27 July 2020. We now offer Distance-Learning options for those outside the Waikato or for those who prefer to learn at their own pace and in their own time. Our courses are now open to anyone, anywhere, and at any time!
We now offer both beginning and Intermediate Language courses in Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi and Urdu. We plan to offer additional languages in the future.
Our 14 distinct Religious Diversity courses are offered on a rotating basis throughout the year, with Term 3 courses on ‘Hinduism’ and ‘Religious Fundamentalism & Extremism’. Future Term courses rotate through all of the main faith traditions.
We're also pleased to announce our newest series of courses on World Mythologies! Our Term 3 course is entitled ‘Grand Narratives and Mythologies in the Western Traditions.’
We're also especially pleased to be able to offer three distinct options for learners: 1) In-person classes in our Hamilton classroom, 2) on-line live-streaming distance-learning classes via Zoom, and 3) learn at your own pace and at more convenient times by watching the recorded video sessions when your schedule allows.
Visit our website for more information on available Term 3 courses, class schedules, and registration.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
