Telll me more about U3A
The University of the Third Age was founded in Toulouse France in 1972
and is now practiced world wide.
In 1984 the first Australian U3A's were formed in Melbourne.
They quickly spread throughout Victoria and within five years to every
State & Territory, developing as a voluntary self help organisation.
However many Universities, TAFE institutions, Schools, community
education groups and local councils have supported U3A's by making
class rooms, offices and other resources available.
For more detailed description of U3A's history please visit the official
U3A Victoria network website here
