Pick up skills in lifelong learning week

Starting your own business or learning how to send a text message are among some 430 subjects covered in Cork’s lifelong learning festival all next week.

Shopping centres, libraries, museums, sports clubs and dance studios are just some of the venues hosting classes, exhibitions and other events for the ninth Cork Lifelong Learning Festival.

The Bishopstown Senior Social Centre has a number of events, as part of their ongoing series of classes to enable older people use modern technology.
