dc.description.abstract	Universities of the Third Age (U3As) can be loosely defined as “socio-cultural centres where senior citizens may acquire new knowledge of significant issues, or validate the knowledge which they already possess, in an agreeable milieu and in accordance with easy and acceptable methods, with the objective of preserving their vitality and participating in the life of the community”. As its title postulates, the U3A’s target audience are people in the third age phase of their life course. While some centers put one’s 60th birthday as a prerequisite for membership, others adopt a more flexible approach by opening membership to all persons above the age of 50.	en_GB
