How the Explore programme works:

The Explore programme is made up of three, ten-week seasons broadly similar to university terms in their timing. The three seasons are taught by expert tutors many of whom teach at the region's universities. The programme contains a varied mix of courses, lectures, study groups and walks including some practical art.  
A team of member volunteers plans the Explore programmes under the guidance of tutor trustees Anthea Lang and Malcolm Grady. The team is divided into the following subject areas :
  • Art History & Design: Helen Watson & Hazel Mitrani
  •  Narratives (Literature, Cinema and Music) : Rita Prabhu
  •  Science & Mathematics: Pamela Denham
  •  Culture & Society (incl. History & Archaeology): Kath Smith, Lesley Pringle & Joan Oliver
  • Philosophy: Trish Hutson 
  •  With direction from Anthea Lang & Malcolm Grady.
