Just to update you on the CEC Adult Education programme – we are about to launch our first face to face courses in over a year and are very excited to offer up our outdoor courses, starting from 10th May.
The courses will be limited to a maximum of 8 people to make sure the tutor and learners are kept safe and so early booking is recommended. The tutors are friendly, welcoming and will ensure the courses boost skills for lifelong enjoyment, as well as being safe and fun.
To find out more about each class and to book a place, please go to www.joininedinburgh.org
There is an added bonus of being outdoors because growing research is showing a real benefit of being out in nature, for mental and physical wellbeing.
In addition, birdsong is now considered to be one of the biggest factors in focusing the mind and stopping stressful anxiety. There is a link to hearing birdsong and feeling connected to nature as well as a sense of safety because the birds are all around (and would fly off in times of danger).
Our fees are available at standard rate, concession for students and senior citizens and reduced for people receiving benefits.
Just book online. If you’d like more information, feel free to email:
adult.education@ea.edin.sch.uk
There are 8 week and 5 week courses as well as several one-day Saturday or Sunday courses.
Hope you can find something that appeals.
