| What is the University of the Third Age? Better known as “U3A” it is a self-help educational charity open to anyone fully or near fully retired who wishes to keep the brain alive and active by taking part in all kinds of educational, creative and leisure activities. U3A consists of a nation-wide network of autonomous bodies which are recognized for their contribution to adult education. How does it work? Very simply put it is based on the idea that “You teach me - I teach you.” We all come to learn: some of us, but by no means all, are willing to teach but we all contribute to our chosen study groups. There are occasional outside speakers. Must I be qualified to join? No, only to have the desire to learn. Unlike the usual universities there are no entry qualifications and there are no barriers. Are there exams? No. Everything is delightfully informal; we just learn for the pleasure of learning without worrying about tests. How do I find out more? Come along to our next Members meeting at the Open Learning Centre, Brakenhale School, Rectory Rd, Bracknell (see the diary for the date and time). |
