Centre for Dynamic Learning
A new concept for learning, leadership and personal growth. Challenge yourself through this new educational program. If you enjoy being actively involved in your own learning, this program is for YOU. You don't need to be an expert in the topic or know much about it. All you need is an interest in learning from the knowledgeable presenters and be willing to participate in the facilitated discussion. CDL engages zoomers and beyond addressing their interest in volunteerism and adult learning.
All programs are planned, facilitated and presented by volunteers.
All programs are peer-led interactive workshops, discussion groups and study groups in a Jewish milieu.
Light refreshment will be served at each session sponsored by the Slodovnick Endowment Fund.
