Third Age Learning Benefits
Social interaction and community involvement – cornerstones of lifelong learning groups – are directly associated with better mental and physical health.
Education is a major factor in enabling older people to cope with innumerable practical and psychological problems in a complex, changing and fractured world.
Economic benefits of intellectual stimulation for older people result as education fosters self-reliance and independence … thereby reducing the increasing demands being made on public and private resources.
Third Age learning programs are now found in countries all around the world. Some programs are loosely affiliated with a formal academic institution, while others are community based.
