Sažetak
26 years ago at the Open University Zagreb, the first University of the Third Age in Croatia was launched in cooperation with the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb. Since then, the programs for seniors in our institution are continuously developed with the number of participants and the rich program offer. Today, University of the Third Age offers structured educational programs that respects the specifics of elderly people in the process of informal education. How did this development work? Who are the participants attending these programs, what motivates them to enroll? Where are we compared to other institutions? ... are some of the issues that this work focuses on. What does tomorrow bring us? At this point, the only thing we know is that it is safe to say that the future brings for us more and more elderly people to enroll our courses. And more and more educated elderly people. The education of older people – is the secret of longevity, right?
