Attention seniors: New program started for summer semester 2025!

The Rostock Senior Academy has published its range of events for the 2025 summer semester. Registrations are now possible until March 31, 2025. These free events offer seniors the opportunity to further their education and discover new interests in an inspiring learning environment. How uni-rostock.de reports, the program covers a variety of topics ranging from botany and literature to psychology and voice training.

The lecture series will take place every Wednesday at 5 p.m. in the Audimax. Courses on Qigong and English are also offered, among other things. Participation is possible without any special requirements such as minimum age or university degree. This makes the academy accessible to everyone who enjoys learning. The full program can be found on the Senior Academy website.

Program and registration

The seminars and courses of the Rostock Senior Academy start on April 3, 2025. A comprehensive dissemination of information is desired in order to reach as many interested parties as possible. Registration takes place online via the website www.rsa.uni-rostock.de, or in person at the office at Parkstraße 6 or the Thalia bookstore in the KTC. A printed program booklet is also available.

The academy would like to thank the committed colleagues at the university who made a significant contribution to the design and implementation of the program. How dienstleistungsportal.uni-rostock.de Further explains, the Senior Academy would like to offer a platform that not only creates educational opportunities, but also promotes social contacts.

Opportunities for older workers

In addition to the educational offerings, there are also specific programs for older workers that are supported by the employment agency. These programs are particularly important for people aged 45 and over who work in companies with fewer than 250 employees. How bildung-ab-50.de explains, there are special funding opportunities if no further training with funding has taken place in the last four years. Applicants should seek advice from the employment agency in good time in order to find suitable educational institutions and clarify possible educational goals.

The funding not only covers the costs of courses, but can also cover travel costs, accommodation costs and childcare. The prerequisite for claiming this funding is that the employment relationship exists during further training and wages are paid. Education vouchers can be a great help in covering further training costs and enabling access to new qualifications.

The offerings of the Rostock Senior Academy and the support programs for older employees illustrate how important lifelong learning and further training are at every stage of life.
