University for Third Age
The Universtiy of Third Age began in 1970 in France and nowadays
it has been expanded globally.
People Behind began this initative in Athens in early 2020, offering to
people 65+ a variety of workshops and activities designed speciafically
for this age group.
After Covid-19 we created the e-learning platform,
e-Universtity for Third Age, where
our beneficiries follow weekly workshops, do their homework,
express ideas and thoughts and build relationships.
To access the e-learning platform (version only in Greek)
Currently the courses are:
History, Greek Philosophy, Computers, English language,
Ancient Tragedy & Literature.
Supported by: TIMA Charitable Foundation & Ministry of Culture
Expression Lab 65+
Through the techniques of theater, music and theatrical movement,
we practice creativity, imagination and expression.
These excerises help to improve memory
as well as mental and physical health of the beneficiaries.
This program is a collaboration of People Behind and ActionAid Hellas
Community Center.
