For those whose educational interests range beyond the normal curriculum, the Humber 2009 Lecture Series is returning to Orangeville with an eclectic selection of topics.

The series began in 2007 with the idea, according to Humber Orangeville campus director Joe Andrews, of accommodating "people in town looking for education of a different type."

Participants can attend all 10 lectures for $180, or single lectures for $20.

The series starts Friday, Oct. 16 with early childhood education veteran Julie Valerio presenting "Is there Nature in the Woods," a lecture which explores some current trends in the lives of children and families.

On October 23, Deborah Powell will pass on her expertise in the field of reflexology with the lecture "Stories the Feet can Tell."

"Everyone's Life could be made into a Movie" on Nov. 20 is where the audience will be able to participate by bringing personal stories which will be brainstormed to exemplify that everyone's life could be made into a movie.

The lecture will be delivered by Eva Ziemsen, professor and co-ordinator of film and television production at Humber College.
