U3A ACT

U3A ACT

By Community Groups
WELCOME TO U3A ACT!

U3A membership is open to people 50 and over. Most are no longer in full time employment but are enjoying the third age of their lives.

Principles of U3A

  • To provide affordable learning opportunities for older people, using the skills and abilities of the members themselves;
  • Those who learn shall teach and those who teach shall learn, and there shall be no distinction between the two;
  • There shall be no qualification for membership, and no awards, degrees and diplomas shall be given;
  • The emphasis shall be on learning for the love of it, and shall include an emphasis on the values of making things and improving skills of all kinds;
  • Learning shall take place in a friendly, supportive and social environment;
  • Those joining U3A shall pay for its upkeep;
  • There shall be no payment to any person (member or non-member) for teaching or providing a service to members except in the case of reimbursement for such expenses as travel, photocopying, etc.;
  • The curriculum of a U3A shall be determined by the needs/preferences of members and according to the resources available to it; and
  • To be at all times, non-political and non-sectarian in our approach.

Austrian Harmonie Choir Canberra

By Community Groups
WELCOME TO THE AUSTRIAN HARMONIE CANBERRA

The Choir's main objective is to have fun and enjoy the musical experience while at the same time achieving a high level of excellence in its performances

The Austrian Harmonie Choir is a highly respected SATB Choir and a major force in the promotion of Austrian culture and music in Canberra and the wider community in Australia.

The Choir is fortunate to have a number of talented singers and musicians, which enables it to present solos, duets, quartets and instrumental pieces. Many of our singers do not speak German nor read music, but this is never an issue as we assist with pronunciation and provide MP3 audio files and translations of songs.

Come to one of our rehearsals, which are held Wednesday evenings from 7.15 to 9pm at the Harmonie German Club. We do not require you to audition, just have a genuine desire to sing and join this wonderful musical family.
