Université du 3e Age, an Invitation:
Seniors Continue or Begin your University
Raymonde Wagner
Education is a life-long endeavour.
Universities, social centres and
organisations like UN are becoming
increasingly conscious of this
human right and are responding in their different
ways to meet the need. Education
being a right, such right must not only be proclaimed
but must also be given the structures
and possibilities for it to be put into actual
practice. Continuing education and education
of the senior citizen is simply the continuation
of this right. an extension in years,
whether the person has had the advantage of
advanced education in youth, or has been
unfortunate in not reaping such benefits in
earlier life.
The University of the Third Age of Geneva
(Uni-3)) now provides an opportunity for
everyone to continue – or to begin – enlarging
one’s intellectual horizon in multiple ways
within an enthusiastic and dynamic group of
some 3000 people of various tastes, interests
and capabilities, in our host city of Geneva.
Sections include Art, Literature, Medicine,
Law, History, Geography, Religion, Philosophy,
Cultures in weekly conferences, workshops,
discussion groups and ‘sorties’, at the
University.
For a minimal subscription everyone will
find some theme or activity of interest. or
meet some person of empathy, in a refined,
informal yet thought-provoking atmosphere
as intensively or as relaxed as one may
choose. You will be welcome.
