u3a day

What is a u3a?

u3a is a self-supporting organisation for people no longer in full time employment providing educational, creative and leisure opportunities in a friendly environment. 

u3a consists of local u3as all over the UK, which are charities in their own right and are run  by volunteers.
 
Local u3as are learning cooperatives which draw upon the knowledge, experience and skills of their own members to organise and provide a wide range of interest groups in accordance with the wishes of the membership and to pursue learning, not for qualifications,  but for fun 

The teachers learn and the learners teach.
