From Ancient Rome to Astronomy, and Fashion to Crime Fiction, there is something to tantalise the taste buds of anyone wishing to learn something new with Interest Groups Online.
The u3a movement is for those no longer in full-time work who have time to spare, a desire to learn and would like to make new social connections.
Interest Groups Online is the online learning service of the organisation and from 2nd to 6th of October, there will be a series of free sessions open to non-members to try out the wealth of fascinating groups available.
Stephen, from Edinburgh, is in several groups, including Slow French. He says: “Interest Groups Online is excellent for languages, whether you’re learning, improving, or keeping your existing skills alive.
“C’est parfait pour mour, (it’s perfect for me) and my late in life ambition to be bilingual.”
Stephen is one of five members who talk about their positive experience of Interest Groups Online in this short film.
Members can join as a complementary service to their local in-person u3a membership or as a standalone membership. From October, Interest Groups Online membership is just £6 for 6 months and members will have access to over 75 different groups across a wide range of topics.
