(Polish title below: Znaczenie aktywnosci spolecznej i edukacyjnej osob starszych w perspektywie sluchaczy Uniwersytetu Trzeciego Wieku i osob niepelnosprawnych w Elblagu). Ageing of the society demands essential changes in the social policy. Activating elderly people, which is realized by local governments, is becoming a desirable action. Universities of the Third Age are one of its forms. The research conducted among the University of the Third Age and Disabled People in Elblag students shows that they are quite satisfied with their lives, which is conditioned, among other things, by the level of life activity including participation in the University of the Third Age and Disabled People classes.
