Welcome to Omagh District U3A
INTRODUCTION
U3A (University of the Third Age) is an international organisation which started in France in 1973. There are approximately 385,000 members in the UK in 1000 autonomous groups, 25 of which are in Northern Ireland. U3A caters for people from all walks of life who are retired or semi-retired who wish to follow a number of interests. U3A is not an academic organisation with set curricula, daily lectures, exams. We are a learning cooperative where we learn from each others experiences and knowledge in a social setting.
Each local U3A is different, with the activities on offer depending on the skills and experience of the members.
