An Invitation to all U3A members

In April, a call out went to the Demystifying Psychology Group for volunteers for two experimental “zoom” internet meetings. A BIG shout out and thank you to the lovely guinea pigs who joined in the experimental meetings and/or offered great ideas.  The following is based on your input.

Starting 15th May, Demystifying Psychology will host twice monthly “zoom” internet discussion groups. The discussion groups will continue until we receive notification that groups such as ours may recommence. All U3A members are welcome.

The purpose of the Demystifying Psychology discussion group is to enjoy informative, relaxed chats and to share ideas. You can bring a topic, join a topic, or just listen. Have a look at our page on the U3A Benalla website for some pre-covid19 background: 

How to participate:
  1. Download the “Zoom” app to your device. View at https://youtu.be/fMUxzrgZvZQ
  2. Join one or both monthly meetings on: 
  1. 3rd Friday afternoon 2-3 pm (beginning 15 May; link #1 below) and/or 
  2. 1st Wed morning 10.30-11.30 am (Beginning 3rd June; link #2 below).
  1. Topics will be generated by discussion group participants - current interest is Forensic Psychology
  2. Format
    1. 15 minutes - outline of key themes/research/concepts of the chosen topic.
    2. 24 minutes - group discussion.
  3. No need to book in - simply join by activating the meeting link. 
  4. Curiosity mandatory ... no other pre-requisites.

    Course Content Sem II

    Demystifying Psychology

    A ten-session light-hearted course introducing psychology in everyday life and some of the theories that attempt to explain how and why we do things.  The course will include personality types and preferred coping styles; theories and practices applied to drug treatment, raising children, family violence, and other topics as suggested by participants. The course will also include social psychology, the concepts of obedience, power, group dynamics and states of mind.  We'll then discuss how we experience the various theories as they play out in daily life.

    Sessions - which include both course content and discussion components - are held on the third Friday from 1 to 3 at U3A and the 1st Monday from 10 to 12 pm at 'The Hub'. These are replaced by Zoom sessions if necessary.
