Here at the WEA we offer a wide range of short courses varying in duration from one-off lectures and workshops to 8 week programmes. Many of our courses change each term. We are always looking to expand our Tutor pool and to host interesting speakers on a wide range of subjects. If you have a passion for adult education and are interested in teaching or speaking at the WEA we would love to hear from you. Email us with a short course/lecture proposal and we will be in touch: programme@cwea.org.nz
