Did you know that there are national subject interest groups in addition to the local group/s that Melbourn & District u3a members attend? For example there's a monthly online meetings of a national ‘computer group’ where there’s an invited speaker and a discussion afterwards. It’s the sort of thing that has massively become popular in recent years. A list of subjects is below. Each is an independently run group loosely under the u3a ‘umbrella’. This link to u3a communities will take you to the main index where you may explore, sign up to events of interest or join a mailing list to hear when events happen. It may be ‘just the thing’ to plan for the cool seasons.
- Art History
- Books and Literature
- Climate Crisis
- Computing
- Current Affairs
- History
- Science & Technology
- Leading Edge Research
As a u3a member you can join any of the above. It's an idea to sign up (roughly one email monthly). You could see what's available now at u3a communities.org (opens in a new tab).
*Our local u3a benefits from the effort, support and guidance of a national u3a umbrella organisation called the Third Age Trust. The initiative above is one of their many projects.
