Jan Jozef Lipski U3A University in Teremiski

The article describes an idea of Jan Jozef Lipski U3A University which has been created in a small village - Teremiski in Poland for young people who are unable to attend traditional universities because of different reasons (especially lack of money). The university is a social institution open for everybody who wants to learn. Its general aim is to support students in preparing for adulthood. Apart from normal classes, the organizers help in applying for a job and teach how to handle with contemporary life's challenges through participation in normal life - the school is in part also a home as private and educational aspects are mixed together.
