Livet skole (The School of Life)

18. aug 2008 14:27, Jan de Dacia

I London sker der ofte mærkelige ting. Nye trends opstår, bizarre tiltag finder sted og megen glæde og sorg opstår i forbindelse hermed.

Sidste nyt er The School of Life, som jeg finder absolut enestående, fabelagtig og yderst interessant og befriende i en vesterlandsk kultur, der er alt for fokuseret på laveste mulige intellektuelle fællesnævner, materealistiske unødvendige groteskheder og meningsløs underholdning.

Livets skole har med berømtheder som Alan de Botton og Mark Vernon ved hånden følgede nærmest uimodståelige tilbud (taget fra hjemmesiden: http://www.theschooloflife.com/courses.aspx

Introduction: Courses at The School of Life

We offer courses about the big issues of life - love, politics, work, family, play. The courses have been devised by leading authors, artists, actors and academics. They combine the experiences of a remarkable faculty with insights from great thinkers of the past, to offer you intelligent and playful ways to interpret the world, and your place within it.

The courses take place in our central London headquarters and also involve occasional visits to places which shed light on the issues at hand. So you might find yourself discussing the history of romance in a Travelodge, the contemporary relevance of Marx in a union office, or the pleasures of craftsmanship in a furniture workshop. 

Read more about each course by browsing the left hand menu.

All courses run regularly in two formats:
19.00 - 21.30 once a week for six weeks
or 10.00 - 22.00 Saturday and 10.00 - 18.00 Sunday

There are 20 places available on each course.

All courses cost £195

 

Jeg synes det er alletiders ide. Måske man skulle åbne en lignende butik.
