Summary/Abstract: Life experience of elderly generations seems to be insuffi cient to live in the contemporary world. In order not to be marginalised, elderly people must gain new skills. Reality cannot be changed. Progress cannot be stopped. It is the elderly generation that must keep pace. In this pursuit education can help. The University of the Third Age is a natural and obvious place to get education in late adulthood.
