u3a Eastbourne

learn, laugh, live

The u3a motto is “learn, laugh, live”—a simple yet powerful phrase that captures the spirit of the movement.

Here’s what it reflects:

•  Learn: Lifelong learning is at the heart of u3a. Members explore new subjects, share knowledge, and keep their minds active—without the pressure of exams or qualifications.

• Laugh: Social connection and enjoyment are key. Whether it’s through discussion groups, games, or outings, u3a encourages fun and friendship.

• Live: It’s about embracing life in the third age—after full-time work—by staying engaged, curious, and connected to others.

It’s not just a motto—it’s a mindset. Many local branches, including those in Eastbourne, use it to guide their activities and foster a welcoming, vibrant community.
