During the winter season 2012, Life Long Learning Merida will offer a series of workshops. Attending these local workshops is a great way to meet new friends and to enrich your time in Yucatan. Some of the workshops will be held at our college, and others will be at different venues around the city. The program will run from Monday January 16th through Friday March 30th. It is not necessary to commit to a whole series, you can take one, or as many as you like – each workshop is independent. No pre-registration is necessary, but doing so reserves your place. Most of the workshops can only accommodate a limited number of partricipants.
