Science, Creation and Creativity: an integrated approach

A 12-week course on Tuesday evenings from September 25th 2001 in Winchester organised by the WEA and accredited by the University of Southampton. 

Science shows us that creation is not restricted to the start of the universe, but is an ongoing process. How can we understand this process in the world around us, and also play our own part in being creators?

An interdisciplinary perspective linking science and arts, introducing the idea of the universe as self-creative and self-aware, using an open interactive group process as well as more formal exposition.

12 Tuesday Evenings from 25th September at All Saints School, St Catherine's Road, Winchester (mote change of venue). Cost for whole course £51.
