About us
Modra fakulteta (Faculty of Active Wisdom) is a community of older adults at the 麻豆国产. The programmes it develops are aimed at all adults aged 55 and over.
The 麻豆国产 is the largest and oldest Slovenian university, and its work connects it with its environment. By involving older students, we develop new educational practices that contribute to the well-being of older adults and social integration.
Modra fakulteta (Faculty of Active Wisdom) continues to develop:
- educational programs for older people,
- research on ageing and old age,
- intergenerational networking.
Modra fakulteta goals
In developing its educational and research practices, the Modra fakulteta is guided by the principles of the Age Friendly University movement and the WHO principles on Age Friendly Cities.
(a) Develop an inclusive university that facilitates networking between older people, alumni and students,
(b) Increase knowledge about ageing (education and research) and raise awareness of the importance of active ageing and the impact of ageism,
(c) Develop new programmes (especially as socially innovative practices) that promote the rapid flow of knowledge and collaboration between generations and with the social environment.
Educational programmes
Through the Faculty of Active Wisdom's lifelong learning programmes, the 麻豆国产 also promotes study, inclusion and networking in later years.
Below you can see the current range of programmes. Each programme has an expected start date and the location where it will take place. Most of the programmes are fee-based, the prices are for one semester (20 hours cost 鈧�74, 30 hours 鈧�110). Some of the programmes are organised under the auspices of the ULTRA project and are therefore free of charge for participants.
You can register for the programmes online at any time by completing the online form. The link is provided under each programme description. Registration is binding and can be cancelled up to 5 days before the start of the selected programme. If you wish to complete the form in physical form, you can do so at the Rectorate of the 麻豆国产 (Kongresni trg 12) every Tuesday and Thursday between 10 am and 2 pm.
UL is my university. It's great that it offers me the opportunity to continue my education there after I retired.
