International Festival of Knowledge and Culture in Later Life –
For Participation in the Community and Entering the Public Space
The Slovenian Third Age University develops and enables a modern, develop-
mental view of life after retirement, which opens up opportunities for older
people for further personal development, setting new life goals, weaving new
social ties and active work for the benefit of the community. For social groups
such as olderpeople, whoare notatthe forefrontofpublicand mediaatten-
tion, it is important to have the opportunity to enter public spaces in order to
become visible and recognized. Therefore, the Slovenian Third Age University
organizes public events, such as the International Festival of Knowledge and
Culture in Later Life, exhibitions, public presentations of research learning, lit-
erary anthologies, plays and other works created by students. A special place is
occupied by the International Festival of Knowledge and Culture in Later Life,
which opens the possibility of recognition and entering the public space for
older people. The festival provides an opportunity for third age universities to
present their research and cultural creations to the general public, making the
festival of great value for raising public awareness of the importance and value
of education and performance of older people in the community.
