REVISITING THE 60s
“swinging or swingeing”?
| New members welcome |
This course will revisit a decade we all know very well, and examine, in a year by year approach, how it changed both Britain and, to some extent, the world
We shall look at such items as changes in societal norms, jobs, food, the law,typical holiday destinations,film and pop culture, typical salaries/wages, the economic situation, new industries and the demise of old ones, emigration and immigration, car/tv/house ownership etc.We shall also discuss our own memories of it and to what extent they concur with the views we hold today.
The course takes place on the 2nd and 4th MONDAY of a month, at 10 am on ZOOM.
