REGISTRATION FOR FALL 2024 NOW OPEN
Each year, the Thomas More Institute develops and delivers an original 18-week discussion course designed specifically for seniors. Led by volunteers trained in TMI’s approach to discussion, the course is offered on-site at various residences and senior’s centres in the Greater Montreal area. The goal of the TMI’s Seniors Outreach Program is to foster socialization and intellectual reflection by creating a welcoming environment in which participating seniors can engage with selected readings and with one another.
Seniors Outreach Course for Fall 2024:
A World of Stories: Tales from the Seven Continents
Humans are natural storytellers. Even before the written word, oral traditions existed. These early stories allowed knowledge to be passed on to future generations. The written word continues to provide a window into other times and cultures.
What can we learn from the tales we read? And what makes some of them endure the test of time? Can stories give us a glimpse into the minds of those who came before? What can such tales teach us about the past and the present?
In this course we will read from early tales to modern day stories with much in between.
