Education in the Third Age |
The Carnegie inquiry into
the Third Age - Final Report

6.1 "For the Individual, the third age is a
time of emerging from the imperatives of earning a living and bringing up children to a
time when personal development can once again become a central concern.
Individuals need to rely more on themselves to seek out a range of activities and build a
network of links with different people.
Failure to do this may be damaging; for instance
the health study points to lack of social support as a risk factor for depression."
The purpose of the following City-wide and
Community Based Education in the Third Age is:
 | To provide educational opportunities for men and
women. |
 | To respond to the needs and requests of

 | To assist people adjust and cope with a

 | To encourage a positive attitude to retirement and
