DurationThis is an active course in writing, designed to be a safe place for beginners and a useful class for those with writing experience.
We will write, learn to listen, and learn how to give and take useful feedback.
We will of course work with the basics – how setting shapes a story, how to decide what to include, how to make what you write sound like a story.
We’ll look at creating with interesting characters, even when the character is you, and how to write dialogue that works.
It’s a class where we work together toward whatever goals we set out for ourselves individually, and for the group.
Continue your life-long learning by joining the Seniors’ College Association of Nova Scotia, a volunteer-based registered non-profit organization dedicated to providing affordable non-credit academic courses to seniors (age 50+) in Nova Scotia.
Courses are for your learning enjoyment, without tests or assignments. Membership entitles you to enrol in any number of the courses offered per year.
It also allows you to participate in further developing this dynamic learning organization. Classes are offered in the Halifax Regional Municipality, Liverpool, Mahone Bay, and Truro.
Objectives
On a volunteer and non-profit basis, the Society will seek to achieve these objects:
Programing
Under normal circumstances, Seniors' College produces 60-75 courses (six weeks in length) in three terms per year. These are delivered in several communities (chapters), with Halifax being the home base.
The other chapters are in Truro, Mahone Bay, and Liverpool. More may be added in the future according to local interest and capacity. In addition to courses, Seniors' College provides special public lectures during each term.
