University of the Third Age

U3A has become an important aspect of my life. It's opened new doors into my time, allowing me to meet people, learn, participate, enjoy and keep my brain active.

Apparently it's available in a lot of countries throughout the world, but originated in France and is firmly ensconced into Aussie life now.

It's open to people over the age of 50 (or is that 55?) who work less than 20 hours per week. Have a look at your local U3A Charter.. check it out to see what's available. You'll find that entrance fees are really affordable for retirees, with such varied courses that you're sure to find one that interests you.

I'm currently studying Italian language, but plan on doing Geology later in the year.


Exercise your brain - join U3A.
