Abstract

Evolution of information society, which arises mainly from the development of technology and information technology, causes that older people may be marginalized and their activity in society may be limited. One can avoid such a phenomenon by all initiatives of stimulating seniors towards intellectual and physical activity. The most popular initiatives are Universities of the Third Age. The first university in Poland was founded over thirty years ago. Universities of the Third Age are one of the most common forms of education for older people. Their main task is to increase the intellectual activity of older people and to meet the needs arising mainly from psychosocial changes. The aim of this paper is to characterize the education of retirement age people with particular regard to their expectations in the age of computerization and digitization of society.
