- Keeping a learning diary (audio or written).
- Engage the resources provide and share your findings with others.
- Consider historical, social, and cultural nature of the culture wars.
- Explore information from lots of different areas.
- Create a personal narrative from your own research.
- Consider ideas around the effects of technology on you and others.
- Investigate the best route forward for you.
- Create your own story that you can tell.
Resources
The program makes full use of the resources available to us, from various sources, in a variety of forms.
A monthly seminar will bring new thinking to you and a summary will be provided when each seminar finishes. This will also contain resources for the coming month, including websites, videos, books, podcasts, films, and other visual media (not all in the same month).
The program will cover many areas of interest, philosophy, media, history, and anthropology, along with others will help you gain an understanding of this complex field and make good decisions.
Your Commitment
The only real commitments that we would say (rather cheekily) were mandatory, would be the monthly seminar of 1 hour and the learning diary. This is likely to be where the most important part of learning, reflecting personally and then sharing your thinking with others, will likely occur. You will get the most from the program if you do engage fully, but the choice is of course, yours.
In terms of time commitment, we suggest that the resources marked as primary would be the minimum you would want to undertake. We estimate this to be around 4 hours a month. However, this is difficult to ascertain as some months may be more and others less. Bear in mind, that the nature of some resources mean they are a pleasurable thing to do, such as film watching or book reading, with personal development.
