Manage episode 409436300 series 3560452
Welcome to Forever Curious, the podcast of OLLI-UW!
In this episode of Forever Curious, we ask members of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) at the University of Washington why they joined and why they stay. And, as Natalie Lecher, Director of OLLI-UW asks, why listen to this podcast?
As one member described it, OLLI is a “buffet” of learning, with all sorts of educational opportunities for folks over 50. And this podcast is a continuation of that learning, open to everyone around the globe who wants to listen.
With OLLI, you can listen to lectures on a number of subjects, sign up for courses to take a deeper dive into various topics, and have amazing conversations with other lifelong learners. Want to learn how dinosaurs evolved into birds? Or understand the socio-political underpinnings of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein? Eager to know the fascinating lecturers and experts behind the stories? OLLI is the place!
We know that continuing to learn throughout our lives is extremely good for our brains, as is joining in social events, and OLLI offers both. Find more information about OLLI on our website https://www.osher.uw.edu/, and listen to the Forever Curious podcast here or on your favorite podcast app.
