Age & Lived Experience: Put the book down and open your mind | Friday 26 September | 7–8.30pm  
When Robin Williams’ character in Good Will Hunting (1997) says, “There’s nothing you can tell me that I can’t read somewhere else”, he’s referring to the immaturity of youth. 

Looking beyond knowledge gained from books (and their online equivalents) to promote age inclusion, this event will feature unusual and interesting real-life stories from diverse perspectives. With a minimum speaker age of 50 and thought-provoking stories from real lives, this event promises a range of voices and stories. 

Register to attend.
