This is a FREE event being offered as part of South Australia's History Festival.
In 2023 the WEA (Workers’ Educational Association of South Australia Inc) celebrated its 110th anniversary by recruiting a team of volunteers to sort, catalogue and digitise its treasure trove of historic materials including course guides, publications, annual reports, photographs, correspondence, newspaper clippings, video tapes and much, much more.
Join members of the WEA Volunteer History Project team as they share their most fascinating discoveries and explore the influence of the WEA on the South Australian community over the past 110 years.
Includes a brief tour of the WEA building which was purpose built as a confectionery factory in the 1940s.
This course runs for 1 session x 2 hours.
