Each year U3A Manawatū 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.
