Haywards Heath & District
University of the Third Age
Welcome!
“We learn at leisure and study for pleasure”
The University of the Third Age in Great Britain was created more than 25 years ago.
There are now over 200,000 members and more than 700 U3As in England, Scotland and Wales.The idea started in France where the classes are more formal and linked with universities and professional teachers. There are branches of the University of the Third Age all over the world and the internet provides an increasingly important link between groups at all levels.
Each U3A and every group is autonomous and The Third Age Trust is the title of the supportive body of all the U3As in Britain. Holidays, summer schools, internet courses and various free educational publications are available to all members.
"Those who teach shall also learn, those who learn shall also teach" This is one
of the basic principles of the UK U3A movement as stated by Peter Laslett -
Programmes for Haywards Heath U3A are available from Haywards Heath Library.
