摘要
The paper presents the specifics of education of older people in the area of information technology in relation to educational solutions in Poland. Today the most popular exemplification of the life-long learning idea for people in so called "golden age" are the Universities of the Third Age which serve not only as the places for leisure animation but also allow seniors, in a professional manner, to gain various competencies. The paper points out to the main objectives fulfilled by such units in the area of minimizing digital exclusion in reference to the phenomena like: demographic changes, information society development and improving the IT education methodics.
