U3A membership is not related to a specific age but to a period in one's life (the third age) after the second age of full-time employment and parental responsibility. Anyone can join Torrevieja U3A and this includes people who are working part time. There is no lower age for membership.
The Torrevieja U3A is a learning co-operative which draws upon the knowledge and skills of its own members to organise and provide interest groups in accordance with the wishes of the membership. Our association encourages and enables members to help each other share their knowledge, skills and experience to celebrate the capabilities and potential of its members and their value to society.
Between them, our Group activities offer the chance to enjoy life, meet new friends and study many different subjects in varied fields and our approach to learning is "learning for pleasure". There is no accreditation or validation and there are no assessments or qualifications to be gained. Our current activities include Military history, Art Appreciation, Morris Dancing, Mah Jong, Bridge, Various Book Reading, Spanish language, Cycling, Various Walking groups, Petanca and much much more.
More courses are added as new members come along and offer new skills which they are willing to share, on a completely voluntary basis, with other members.
If you wish to join in any of our group activities and social events then you should first of all join the Torrevieja U3A or you can visit s
