Today's Topic: Italy
With the third largest economy in the European Union and under the leadership of conservative Giorgia Meloni, Italy plays an important role in the relationship between Europe and the United States. Join Active Minds as we review the rich history of Italy and its current role as a major player in the European Union. We’ll visit Italy’s role in the rise of the European Empire, its rich artistic and scientific contributions of the Renaissance, and its economic and political struggles in the recent past.
About Active Minds:
Active Minds started in 2002 as a series of poetry classes in a church basement in Denver. Before long, it grew to include other courses focusing on contemporary global issues, historical themes, and other matters of importance. The original audience was primarily senior citizens, but over time Active Minds has grown to serve adults of all ages through programming at book stores, libraries, and corporations. Today Active Minds provides programming to over 200 organizations and has over 30 highly qualified instructors on staff. John Henderson and Zane Robertson formed Active Minds out of a deeply felt belief that lifelong learning is central to a life well lived. We are inspired by members of our own families who embodied this spirit and dedicate this work to them. |
