U3A Wangaratta - Live Learn Enjoy

The U3A's Origins

The University of the Third Age (U3A) is an international movement whose aims are the education and stimulation of mainly retired members of the community - those in their third 'age' of life. The 'third age' is defined by a time in your life (not necessarily chronological) where you have the opportunity to undertake learning for its own sake.

University of the 3rd Age (U3A) started in France in 1973. 

The first Australian U3A opened in Melbourne in 1984 with many other U3As rapidly opening across the country. There are around 105 U3A’s in Victoria and just on 300 nationwide. U3A Wangaratta commenced in 1985.
