Deciphering the code – yes you can do it

Date	19 October 2017 (Thursday)

Content	For some of us, Cyrillic alphabet may look like mirrored Latin letters. Or it may resemble codes to be cracked. In this workshop, we will learn to read and write and even speak some basic Russian. You will definitely develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of this charismatic language system.

Human Trafficking and Modern-day Slavery

Globalisation… of the dark side

Date	23 October 2017 (Monday)
