Creativity underpins the courses on offer at Emerald Community House in 2023.
There is something for everyone – from cooking to writing to gardening to the arts.
The success of the Emerald Messenger will reinvent itself as a project based learning opportunity. Those interested in putting their writing and editorial skills to the test can join this course and learn how to produce a community newspaper in four editions throughout the year.
Interested in applying your experience as a tutor for this project? Give us a call and send in your resume.
As always, we will look forward to community submissions from the hills residents.
If you just want to join a group and improve your writing skills, ECH offers a creative writing course which runs throughout the year.
Poetry, memoir or commentary styles are all popular approaches for this group.
Cooking, literacy and numeracy for adults are all basic skills that we all need to have to get through the daily grind and save money.
These courses are ideal for those looking to improve their English language and reading, as well as people with disabilities.
Permaculture Design has been running at ECH for decades with Pete the Permie and this is your last chance to get into this course.
Later in the year, we will explore what it takes to develop a market garden. This is suited for those who want to get into the business of growing and selling produce or just for those who want to increase their yield all year round.
The Fire Arts Studio is fired up to deliver on its second year in operation. Jewellery making, pottery, glass fusion and other hand crafted activities help people to clear their head and channel their focus toward designing and making wearable, usable art.
As always, ECH is here for the people providing Foodbank supplies and affordable, licensed childcare.
The perennial Emerald Wellbeing Group meets weekly and it’s free – so is Tax Help.
Give ECH a call for more information. New programs are added throughout the year.
