"Ingrowing" into the University of the Third Age – the Phenomenon of Place and Person

Abstract

Places not only draw biographies, but also have an impact on their construction and transformation. The article presents a unique person involved in the process of educating seniors. This person was Genowefa Kruczek-Kowalska, the originator and founder of a special place in the city of Rzeszów, which is the University of the Third Age. The university, as an important and significant place for the elderly, has become a significant part of the biography of Mrs. Kruczek-Kowalska. It was here that the social life associated with education for seniors developed. Mrs. Genowefa certainly deserves an honorable position in the society of the city of Rzeszów and its history. She led the University of the Third Age in Rzeszów through organizational changes and made an incredible contribution to its functioning. Mrs. Genowefa derived natural social activism from her family traditions. She left many good memories, and her genuine involvement in the activities of the University of the Third Age significantly contributed to the development of this institution and the shaping of the present formula for its functioning.
