an invited group of teenagers:
The
increased acceptance of Zoom conferencing creates opportunities for U3A's
to increase their online engagement with their membership and perhaps
extend the U3A experience of those who can no longer physically attend
meetings. There is greater potential for U3A's to share resources, share
meetings and to undertake collaborative projects.
