We will take a ferry from Scrabster on the northeast coast of Scotland, passing the famous Old Man of Hoy on our way to the village of Stromness, on the western end of the Main Island. We will explore both the famous neolithic sites, as well as some that are not easy to get to. The most famous Orkadian is John Rea, well known as an intrepid explorer and friend of the native people in the Northwest Territories of Canada, where I canoed on the Keele River - but that is another story and maybe another OLLI program!

Experiential education is best seen as we are doing some activity. Travel is one of the most natural ways to learn because it is so stimulating to the brain. We will discuss this phenomenon and discuss the overall impact of seeing travel as an educational foray. Roberson lived in Croatia for 8 years and in the Czech Republic for 12. We will discuss and focus on the main idea of his book: that travel is schooling.

The Venice Biennale has been held every 2 years (as possible) since 1895. Every nation in the world is invited to present their best artists. The 60th Biennale is scheduled from April to November 2024. The 59th Biennale had 80 national exhibits, including 29 permanent country pavilions. The non-permanent country pavilions are scattered in rented space around Venice, in attic garrets, churches, and fancy palaces. The presenter plans to visit as many of the exhibits as possible. For a preview, Google “Jeffrey Gibson,” the indigenous artist who will exhibit in the USA's permanent building.
