Universities of the Third Age (U3As) provide learning opportunities for older adults who are largely free of work and family responsibilities. Worldwide, they typically take on two forms (Swindell 1997): the French model (based on the first U3A founded in 1973) is university based and offers formal courses; the British model, arising in Cambridge in 1981, emphasizes informal, autonomous slef-help groups in which the instructors are usually thrid-agers themselves, not college professors. 3, record 1, English, - university%20of%20the%20third%20age
