WORK

Frustrated by your job?
Not sure how to realise your aspirations?
Curious about other people's working lives?

We’ve created a course for everyone who wants to make their working lives more fulfilling, creative and adventurous.

We ask what makes certain jobs sound attractive – being an architect, a potter, a doctor or an entrepreneur – and hear from those who have discovered the ingredients of a rewarding professional life. We delve into the history of work, finding new ways of understanding the peculiarities of offices and factories. And we ask honest and challenging questions: How do we know what we really want to do? What makes some jobs more satisfying than others? How can we balance work with the rest of our lives?

Whether you’re looking for courage to make radical changes to your working life or just want to look at familiar routines with greater imagination, this course will help you approach the workplace in original and practical ways.
