| WORLDWIDE - U3A Communities online | |
 We
have developed this site to help with the sharing of ideas and projects
amongst the U3A community. The site is run by an informal group of volunteers
who share an interest in the use of technology to enhance the U3A experience.
Photographers, Book-reviews, Collectors, use your 'lockdown' time creatively!
We are looking for volunteers to either help run the site or to contribute to its development by sharing their ideas. This site replaces an earlier one which we decided to retire for technical reasons. The legacy projects from the old site can be accessed below. The site is free to use and there is no need to register but regular participants might find it convenient to do so. Illustration: "Old, but rusty". Tell us what you collect here>>> |

very full newsletter from the editor Claire Eglinton. "Now our
members need U3A Online’s services like never before so not only are

Many U3As will be converting to online delivery but if you find a hole in
your calendar, do take advantage of U3A Online’s comprehensive offering".

these days when local U3A groups are unable to meet because of Covid-19
social distancing, vU3A, the virtual U3A is offering a taster of an online
way of being U3A.For a limited time, from April 20th we have vU3A Open House where you can explore some of the opportunities, such as video conferencing, typical activities such as an interactive Juke Box of light music and puzzles, information about how an online U3A might work, and useful links. Particularly, we would like feedback about what you need in an online U3A, and what you think of Open House. If you want to be a member of vU3A there is a special reduced rate open for the next three months. Have a look at u3a.online>>> |
