HOLISTIC EDUCATION OF SENIORS IN THE EASTERN EUROPEAN MODEL OF THE U3A

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background: The paper focuses on presenting the concept of a holistic model of seniors&apos; education in Universities of the Third Age (U3As) in different Eastern European countries and is a combination of the authors&apos; reflections, research results and experience. The authors indicate the problems and challenges associated with an ageing society. These are factors that contribute to the growth of the importance of gerontology in science and the need to educate adults in this field as well as to support seniors facing the challenges of everyday life. It was noted that it is education that can increase public awareness, improve the quality of life of seniors, avoid some of the consequences of ageing and prevent social exclusion. The purpose of the UTA is to educate seniors and spread knowledge.There are different models of education that are adopted and used by different countries, and at the core of these are mainly volunteers who take on different roles. Currently, UTAs can benefit from various forms of support and funding from such sources as local governments, grant programmes or EU funding competitions. Federations associating UTAs are also being established. Conclusion: Regardless of the model of education, it is possible to observe several relationships typical of each of them, which allows us to speak of an Eastern European model of education of older people. Several characteristics of UTA-type institutions have been identified. The Polish influence on the development of seniors&apos; education is significant. Several problems associated with the Eastern European model of UTAs have been identified, including the mismatch between the needs of seniors and the educational offer, or the too non-scientific approach to the organisation of activities. It is crucial to support cooperation between gerontologists, organisers and sponsors and recruit staff.
