u3a are delighted to have launched a new report on 1 October, International Day of Older People.
The report - 'Learn to Live: A blueprint for better health and wellbeing' - shines a light on the u3a non-formal learning model and the benefits for promoting and maintaining happy, healthy lives.
Non-formal learning is a crucial tool for strengthening community resilience and reducing the impact of social isolation and loneliness, especially in the wake of the pandemic. This report draws attention to the immense value of a low-cost, non-formal learning model in promoting health and well-being in later life. It calls for greater recognition and targeted resources to enable access for all communities.
