FILM SCREENING: GRABBERS
All welcome to join St John’s Central College Film Club as it shows the feature film Grabbers, written by Kevin Lehane, a former student at the college.
Directed by Jon Wright, Grabbers tells the story of Ciarán O’Shea, a charming but heavy-drinking Garda, and Lisa Nolan, a straight-laced young officer who joins him at a small fishing village off the west coast of Ireland. There’s not much for them to do until strange things begin to happen…
Lehane was nominated for an IFTA for his script & Ruth Bradley, who plays Lisa, won the Best Actress Award IFTA for her role in Grabbers.

LEARNING TO LEARN IN THE 21ST CENTURY
How do adults learn? What is the difference between learning and studying? Do we each have a preferred learning style? How does
learning happen? What is the importance of nutrition, sleep and music in learning? How are learning strategies developed? In his lecture, organised by Adult Continuing Education (ACE) at UCC, Dr Denis Staunton surveys some of the most exciting new research on ‘learning to learn’ in adulthood. His lecture is based on his book Going to College as a Mature Student: The Next Step in your Academic Journey recently published by ACE, UCC.
