Beth yw Prifysgol y Drydedd Oes?
Rhwydwaith genedlaethol o grwpiau dysgu yw’r P3O gyda’r amcan o annog pobl hŷn i rannu gwybodaeth, sgiliau, a diddordebau mewn amgylchedd cyfeillgar.
Dim gwaith cartref a dim arholiad. Ceir grwpiau diddordeb neu wersi cyffredin. Dysgu am hwyl ydy’r pwynt nid ennill cymwysterau
What is the University of the Third Age?
U3A is a nationwide network of learning groups aimed at encouraging older people to share their knowledge, skills and interests in a friendly environment.
There are no exams and no homework, just regular lessons or interest groups. It’s learning for fun, not with the aim of gaining qualification.
Pwy sy’n cael dod i’r grwpiau P3O?
Nid oes cyfyngiad oedran , ond mae P3O ar gyfer pobl sydd yn eu ‘Trydedd Oes’ sef wedi ymddeol neu hanner ymddeol. O’r herwydd, bydd yn denu llawer o aelodau sy’n 50 ac yn hŷn. Nid oes unrhyw derfyn isaf i oedran aelodaeth.
Who can attend a U3A group?
There are no age limits but the U3A is for people in their ‘third age’ - retired or semi-retired. For this reason it attracts a lot of members aged 50 and over. However, there’s no lower age membership.
Ble mae’r grwpiau P3O yn cyfarfod?
Mae P3O yn dymuno bod mor gyraeddadwy ag y bo modd ac fe gynhelir y grwpiau mewn lleoliadau amrywiol. Mae’r grwpiau’n cyfarfod naill ai yng nghartref rhywun neu mewn ystafell yn y llyfrgell, yr eglwys neu’r ganolfan gymuned. Bydd costau llogi yn cael eu rhannu ymhlith y bobl sy’n dod. Mae’r costau’n fach oherwydd mai grwpiau mawr yn unig fydd yn llogi ystafell.
Where do U3A groups meet?
U3A aims to be as accessible as possible – groups are held in various locations. Groups meet either at somebody’s home, or in a room in a local library, church or community centre. Any costs for renting premises are shared between those attending. Consequently these costs are minimal as only larger groups would rent premises.
