u3a in Scotland

In addition to the Bearsden & Milngavie events the u3a in Scotland also offer many online interest groups and courses. For further information and to go to their new website please click https://scotland.u3asite.uk/ or copy and paste that address into your browser.

The u3a in Scotland (u3aS) provides quarterly meetings, a summer school every two years and Online Across Scotland. U3aS also gives support to existing Scottish u3as as well as providing guidance for those who wish to start a u3a.

Online Across Scotland organises a number of online groups and monthly talks which are open to members of any Scottish u3a. These online groups and talks started during the pandemic to bring together people whose u3as closed for the duration but have become a valuable resource to those who cannot access the topics in their own u3a, for those for whom there is no local u3a and for those who are unable to attend in person groups due to disability or caring duties.

Online Across Scotland would very much like to expand the portfolio of topics; do you run a group online which would welcome members from across Scotland? Would you like to offer to start a group on a topic of your choice? Please get in touch by emailing the Online Across Scotland Co-ordinator listed on the above website.

Could you give a practical demonstration?
