Dulwich & District U3A: Events

Events

At present most meetings are ONLINE ONLY until "social distancing" is no longer needed.

Learn Digital Life Skills: This is a series of online learning sessions to introduce members to the many and varied elements of the digital world. They are provided free to Dulwich & District U3A members by the IT consultancy Systems & Smiles. The whole series is sponsored by the phone company, ‘3’. It runs on a Friday afternoon, normally fortnightly. Each session is self contained and there is no need to ‘attend’ the whole series – pick and choose as you wish. Also no need to register, just click on the ‘entrance code’, which will be provided to members each week. Details of future sessions are in the Workshops section below. The sessions will be recorded and made available to members online - we will notify members of how to access them when they are available.

Need a break from Zoom? Why not sit back, relax and listen to u3a radio? Scroll down for the latest episode (No. 9, June 2021). The April 2021 edition featured an interview with one of our members, Maggie Smith - click the link.

In addition to the Interest Groups we organise a monthly meeting as an opportunity for members to meet each other, swap experiences and new ideas for groups, ask questions and listen to a visiting speaker.

The links to the online meetings are sent out to members approximately 24 hours before the event. Note: Non-members are welcome to attend these meetings and should contact the secretary (click on the blue bird logo) to obtain the link.
Any member needing help with zoom should look at our Zoom help page by clicking ZOOMHELP
