The Italian Federation among the Third Age\nUniversities (FEDERUNI) was founded in 1982 in Turin and counts among its\nprimary tasks that of supporting the Federated Universities. The aim of the\nFederation is to offer cultural and scientific support to its Universities,\nthrough meetings, organizing conferences and other initiatives but above all\nthrough publications on the problems of third age people and on the\nmethodologies of the various disciplines. In this way the Federation solicits\nthe partner members for reflection in order to improve the quality of life of\nmature people and to develop useful tools for the preparation of its teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Third Age Universities have developed in\nItaly since the Eighties and have multiplied through the initiative of cultural\ncenters, trade unions, voluntary groups, associations, unlike many European\ncountries where they were promoted by the Universities of Studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Federuni now gathers about 200 Universities\nin Italy, with over 60 thousand students and with the contribution of about 5\nthousand teachers. The federated offices are present in every Italian region\nand meet annually for an organizational\nconference, for regional\/ inter-regional\nmeetings and every three years for a\nnational congress.\n\n\n\nThrough the constant contacts with the federated\noffices it has been understood that the third age has become the fundamental\nperiod in which people finally feel fully accomplished and together can offer\nthe society a significant contribution. \nThe users of Third Age Universities are people who are fully effective,\nseeking to redefine their existence in the freedom and service of society. They\nare qualified people not so much from a school set but from their life\nexperience. Through attendance they become more critical, more active, and ask\nfor proposals aimed at their life choices, without disdaining the cultural\nstudy.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1668","partner","type-partner","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partner\/1668","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partner"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/partner"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partner\/1668\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2232,"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/partner\/1668\/revisions\/2232"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1668"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
