| Abstract: | The University of the Third Age is one the leading organisations on older adult learning. Since its founding in 1973, it has been marked by an extensive increase of centres and members all over the globe. This article provides a socio-historical analysis on the origins and establishment of the French and British U3A models which, to-date, remain highly influential towards the planning and running of older adult learning. It provides both a thematic and chronological account of how the U3A movement grew to its present dimensions from unexceptional settings in Toulouse and Cambridge in 1973 and 1982 respectively. |
