Spry Finance is proud to support the Age-Friendly University.
Launched in 2012, the AFU is a wonderful programme which encourages older people to embrace higher education through a range of wellness, cultural, social, research and educational opportunities at Dublin City University.
The AFU is all about participation and is ideal for those who have a love of learning. Its purpose is to bring age diversity to the university campus, to promote intergenerational engagement, and to help challenge stereotypes and combat ageism. The AFU supports ageing in a positive and healthy way and with more than 2,000 older people attending DCU every week, it’s safe to say that the programme is a tremendous success.
Below are a selection of videos where you can learn about the AFU. Christine O’Kelly, DCU Age-Friendly Coordinator, talks about the mental and physical health benefits of participating in life-long learning, and how you can join the AFU. There are also a selection of inspiring stories from students who share their experiences attending the AFU and speak about the difference it has made to their lives.
