teaching & learning
Gisborne U3A has grown markedly with the increase in retired citizens wishing to continue learning for life. Currently there are over 400 members, providing a powerhouse of knowledge, skill and experience gained overall those lifetimes.
Group work is central to Gisborne U3A. We have over 30 groups, meeting weekly to monthly. All endeavour to nurture minds and bodies, and all provide social engagement for members.
Financial membership is required to participate in U3A Gisborne Inc activities.
OUR GROUPS
All groups are self-generating and managing. Groups arise in response to members’ interests and wishes.
Some last for months and some continue for years, with membership changing and renewing. Some gather in members’ homes and so numbers are limited. Others meet in hired premises and are always open to new members.
Information and lists of all of the current group activities are available at our main Monthly Meeting held once each month.
At the Monthly Meeting there is a ‘Give & Take’ book table where members can share books they have enjoyed.
Pictures are examples of some of our groups. Send message via box at bottom of page for more details
