Create, learn and share with members from across the UK
There are many shared activities for u3a members to get involved in across the movement – from the short story competition, to ‘write a letter to your younger self’ to memory collection initiatives such as ‘all our yesterdays’. These ideas come from members, and drive engagement across a range of subjects.
Do you have an idea for something new? A way for members to collaborate on a shared project, a task or activity for members to get involved in? Get in touch at learning@u3a.org.uk
