EarthDiverse course: Understanding the Classical World & its Impact on Modern Life

todd from EarthDiverse

Interested in how classical Greek and Roman art & architecture, literature, philosophy and religion have influenced modern civilisation and culture?

Join EarthDiverse in one of its History courses entitled "Understanding the Classical World & its Impact on Modern Life." This course, taught by Hamiltonian Peter Dornauf, meets Wednesdays 11:00am-1:00pm beginning 3 May 2023 and is available as an in-person course at the EarthDiverse centre in the Hamilton CBD or live-streamed via Zoom to anywhere in the world with a good internet connection.

Description: This series of 8 two-hour talks, from our Introductory World History series, explores and reveals the primal influences of classical Greece & Rome, and explains how these influences manifest today and get played out in the modern world. Knowing these things helps not only with our sense of identity, but also provides us with a point of reference against which to measure our values and make critical judgments.

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?
