"Workshops" seems to be the best fit. "Roundtable" (one word) would, on the contrary, suggest a meeting of experts or professionals in the field, which is clearly not the intended sense here.

Thanks to Liz and everyone else who responded and commented.

Explanation:

"Program series"


Explanation:
This is US English usage, don't know if it's used quite the same in UK. Maybe an qualifying adjective before "program" (History program series, etc.), might make it more precise.

Sorry I don't have time to get the online references up here, but there are lots of them for both"programme series" and "porgram series."
