What happens at a Culturewatch Course?

The course is deliberately flexible, to suit different situations, but a typical short or long Culturewatch Course session might look like this:

	Short (minutes)	Long (minutes)
Introduction to the film	1	2
Clip 1	3	3
Group discussion	3	5
Clip 2	3	3
Group discussion	4	10
Recent scholarship on the topic	3	5
Clip 3	3	3
Group discussion	4	10
Clip 4	–	3
Group discussion	–	10
Summary	6	6
Total time	30	60

At the end of the session the leader gives each guest a small glossy booklet that will enable them to reflect on the issues that will probably have been raised in the discussions. This helps to progress their thinking through the series...

I want to be happy
I want to be free
I want to be loved
I want to have purpose
I want to be spiritual

By the end of the last session they might be responsive to an invitation to an Alpha Course or Christianity Explored - or, indeed, to church or a more conventional outreach event.
