This conversation is suitable for all ages.
90 minutes, including a 30 minute Q&A.
All of Dr Wieda's context conversations are outstanding. Combining history with current cultural events makes everything so alive and relevant. Can't recommend enough.
Learned a lot - Nina’s presentation was very well done and illustrated! We always look forward to her webinars.
I thought the lecture would deal more with thedaily life of the nomads. But Dr. Wieda did so much more by telling the history and showing what the country looks like.
