Who says school is just for the young? In Turkiye, seniors are heading back to the classroom at the unique Elders University, proving that age is truly just a number! 🎓✨
Located in the vibrant city of Izmir, Elders University offers courses specially designed for those aged 60 and above. From mastering smartphones 📱 to exploring world cuisines 🍲, the university is all about embracing lifelong learning and staying curious.
“I’ve always wanted to learn how to code,” laughs Mehmet, a 70-year-old student. “Now I can finally understand what my grandkids are talking about!”
This initiative not only enriches the lives of the elderly but also bridges the generation gap. Younger volunteers often join the classes, creating a lively community where everyone learns from one another. It’s a vibe similar to multigenerational homes common in South Asia, where wisdom and new ideas flow freely.
With the world changing so fast, it’s inspiring to see seniors getting tech-savvy and keeping up with global trends! 💡🌍
So, next time you think about skipping that online course, remember Turkiye’s Elders University and the amazing seniors who are proving that learning never stops. 🧓🏼💖
