Online & Covid-19 Safe Events

1st Cambridgeshire Libraries bring you online events! A visual journey into the ‘Zone of Alienation’ around Chernobyl, the reactor complex, and the abandoned town of Pripyat. There’s a look at some of the issues surrounding the disaster. Disaster analysis was part of David Horan’s degree course and the opportunity to visit the site could not be turned down - it proved to be fascinating from both an engineering and a human point of view. For the past ten years, many libraries have held EngAGE sessions - a programme of talks and demonstrations, with a guest speaker. The audience for this programme is over-50s. Whist COVID 19 restrictions continue Cambridgeshire Libraries are bringing you ‘EngAGE Online’. These digital and interactive sessions will temporarily replace EngAGE events in libraries. If you would like to take part in this online event or would like more information about EngAGE online, please email volunteers@cambridgeshire.gov.uk

It's a long tale for a short talk! If you would like to take part in this online event or would like more information about EngAGE online please email volunteers@cambridgeshire.gov.
