Folkmoot’s hit education program expands culture and learning in second semester
Folkmoot USA has announced the second semester of its “Life Long Learning” education initiative. Conceived and sponsored by Dr. Darryl Nabors, Life Long Learning offers a variety of subjects tailored to our residents.
"With over 100 students signing up for the first semester, we knew that we had something special on our hands,” said Brett Pinkston, Operations Manager at Folkmoot USA.
This semester, seven courses are being offered, including Beginning Knitting, Haywood County Beginnings, Introduction to Genealogy, The Pandemic History of WNC, Conversational Spanish for Beginners, Swedish Weaving and Planning to Thrive-Financially.
“The Planning to Thrive-Financially class offered by advisors from Asheville’s Parsec Financial is particularly exciting,” said Folkmoot Director Evan Hatch. “This is an amazing opportunity to be taught by experts. Parsec Financial are the heavy hitters, and we are honored to have their advisors sharing their wisdom. And that’s just one of our offerings! This class and others in Life Long Learning are great opportunities for the people in this community.”
The price will remain the same at $20 per course. Thanks to a generous donation from Dr. Nabors, we can keep this price point and remain affordable for everyone in the community. There are also scholarships available for anyone who wants to attend and might have financial difficulty doing so. Please call Brett Pinkston at 828.452.2997 to discuss this further.
