Join Active Minds for the story of Vienna, Austria’s capital and largest city. Located on the banks of the Danube river, Vienna was the seat of political and economic power in Eastern Europe for centuries. Today Vienna remains and important cultural and political hub, with a deep history in the arts and sciences, including a pivotal role in the classical music works of composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Hayden, and others.

 

 

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.
