Abstract

In the ageing society, seniors’ quality of life plays a significant role. It is influenced by physical activity, care of health, training of the mind. A considerable role in preparing people to ageing is ascribed to Universities of the Third Age, whose main purpose is to stim-ulate the elderly to active ageing and help them in their free time management. The quick civilizational progress makes it necessary to educate individuals throughout their lives. Those who participate in this process adapt to change more easily and pass through ageing more smoothly. The presented research results clearly confirm the positive impact of Universities of the Third Age on shaping seniors’ quality of life.
