I know about continuing education classes and such, but I don't necessarily have the time or inclination to commit to several weeks of learning. How can I dabble in interesting subjects in just one or a few sessions? edit By workshop, I mean academic content. For example, when I was in college, I'd get emails all the time about one-day or weekend events that focused on gender studies or some kind of ethnic studies. These mini conferences would be made up of lectures and workshops, the latter being more interactive, usually a discussion. |

The Commonwealth Club of California is the nation's oldest and largest public affairs forum, bringing together its more than 18,000 members for over 400 annual events on topics ranging across politics, culture, society and the economy. Founded in 1903, The Commonwealth Club has played host to a diverse and distinctive array of speakers, from Teddy Roosevelt in 1911 to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, actor Alec Baldwin and author Christopher Hitchens in recent years. Martin Luther King, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates have all given landmark speeches at The Club. |
when you say workshops, does wood-working count? learning how to build things?
thanks for the edit.. I would going to suggest the Randal museum, but i guess that's another question
