Online Options
Many of us are having to live our lives online, via zoom or other technology, and this has led to many new opportunities for u3a members.
- Most of the 25 u3as in Northern Ireland provide online events
- The National Office of the u3a hosts special talks and events (see https://www.u3a.org.uk/learning/national-programmes and https://www.u3a.org.uk/events )
- Trust u3a was set up to be just online with a very wide range of groups, can be joined for a smal fee by current u3a members as well as new ones (see https://u3asites.org.uk/trustu3a/home )
Alternatively a number of companies provide talks, virtual tours, etc which might be suitable for u3as, though these are not all free
