​South Solihull U3A​

Wishing you all a better 2021 

What is U3A?

The U3A exists to provide a framework in which retired and semi-retired people from all backgrounds can get involved in helping to create, join and run different learning-based activities. These improve our knowledge and skills, enhance our physical and mental well-being and keep us socially connected.
​

Who are we?

South Solihull U3A are a lively and friendly group of over 150 members, who meet in Bentley Heath Community Centre, Widney Road, Bentley Heath, Solihull, B93 9BQ every second Monday of the month (see Diary). Free parking is available on site and in the adjacent car park. We host a range of interesting speakers and offer a wide range of topics and activities managed by members as group coordinators (see Interest Groups).

 Philosophy Group - Starting Over?

Picture

We've decided to go right back to the beginning of - well - the way we think really***.   So it's an excellent time to join the South Solihull Philosophy Group, if you're interested in having a look at a MOOC and meeting up (on Zoom of course at the moment) to see if we can get the idea of what was going on.   We're going to be watching a series from Penn University on the Coursera site (it's free!):  Ancient Philosophy: Plato & His Predecessors .We take it nice and slow - we just watch one week of the course per month - and then have a Zoom meeting on the third Friday at 10:00 for a couple of hours chat - some of it about the course!   We are definitely a mixed ability group, most of us have never studied philosophy formally, but we support each other in and through our meetings and generally get the  gist.  If you would like to join a meeting and just see how it goes just email Richard Batchelor
