Each week, there would be a different topic of general interest and relevance. These would be open to discussion. In the first class we would discuss possible topics and those who would be willing to contribute something from their own experience on those topics. This would set the structure for the following term. Possible topics include:
Life in different countries and areas - experiences of emigration to or from the UK, or both, and why Cambridge?;
Experiences of schooling and childhood;
People in education, authority or otherwise who influenced our lives (for better or for worse) - who were they, what did you learn, what could or should you have learnt?;
Significant events e.g. death or departure of a close friend or relative;
Contributions that you have made to your field of work or to an area of interest.
