Third age universities are an important segment in
the development of society which is getting older and older.
The expansion of third age universities started with the
founding of the first university in France in 1973, while the
first third age university in Italy was founded in 1975 in
Turin. The Italian experiences indicate that for the
development of the universities there are three important
motives required; the social, cultural and researching. The
third generation universities in Italy belong to one of the three
national university organizations: FEDERUNI, UNITRE and
AUPTEL, each of which has its own statute promoting the
principal values of the organization. Their work is based on
the plan and programme of the activities which is very diverse
and rich in order to meet the users’ interests and needs, and is
realized through various courses which ought to integrate the
content project and the process project as well as their
integration. The structure of the attendants is very
heterogeneous as for the prevailing culture, age and social
and economic status. The objective of the activities of the
third age universities is to increase the quality of life of
elderly people, give meaning to their free time and help them
make new social contacts outside of their family, in other
words, their objective is to meet the cultural and
entertainment needs of the third age population.
