Seminars

Each year U3A Manawatu offers two seminar series, one in the autumn and one in the spring.  Each series of four seminars is organised around a theme and is open to the public.  A diverse range of themes have been offered over the years, dealing with both topical and historical issues in areas ranging from science, education and social science to the arts.

The 2023 Autumn series, entitled “Responding to Hazards” will take place at Crossroads Church on four Wednesday afternoons in May-June from 2.15-4.00pm. Click here for the flyer giving full details. Audio recordings and PowerPoint presentations will be available on the Seminar Presentations page of this website.

COVID-19: It is recommended that seminar attendees wear masks.
