Abstract | Several projects relating to older learners have been conducted over the past decade or so, some involving the University of the Third Age (U3A) Whyalla, as well as other groups composed of older citizens. Some provide examples of engagement with the local university campus; others have this potential. Here a wide range of learning activities, as revealed by survey data, publicly available information, and participant observation, are described. Together with long-running group activities, new activities -- a men's shed and a music learning activity -- have potential outcomes for participants' health and wellbeing. Such informal and non-formal learning opportunities help meet non-metropolitan lifelong learning needs. Some discussion of possible solutions to unmet needs is included. Maximising information sharing and cooperation can lead to mutual benefits, including for educational institutions. Increasing social inclusion benefits the whole community. (As Provided). |
