Uniwersytety trzeciego wieku elementem wielowymiarowego aspektu starości z perspektywy pokolenia 60+

Old age is frequently associated with decreased physical fitness, illnesses, loneliness, etc. For older people the “autumn of their lives” is very often a difficult period. However, contemporary seniors often show a different attitude to old age and completely contradict the stereotype of the “senior citizen of the 21st century”. One of many activities undertaken by the 60+ generation is participating in the classes of the Universities of the Third Age. The surveys conducted among the groups of Zamość students of the University of the Third Age showed, among other things, the priorities of the seniors in contemporary times, the kinds of activities they prefer, the reasons for undertaking education in the Universities of the Third Age and the influence on their lives.
