Learning is an essential part of health, happiness, and well-being. While education often focuses on youth, it’s crucial that learning continues throughout life. GetSetUp is a platform specifically designed to support education and socialization for older adults, creating a comfortable learning environment where they can learn from and with their peers.

The Importance of Lifelong Learning

Ongoing learning is vital for maintaining cognitive health. Research by the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging found that “people who engaged in mid/late-life cognitive activity had less cognitive decline over time.” GetSetUp offers opportunities for those over 50 to teach and learn new skills, fostering a sense of purpose and improving both physical and psychological well-being.

Building a Community of Lifelong Learners

The GetSetUp community not only promotes learning but also enhances social connections, which are crucial for overall well-being. According to research by Chip Conley and Dr. Ingo Rauth, “Long life learning” is a new educational segment focused on helping those in midlife and beyond cultivate a sense of purpose, legacy, adaptability, and resilience. These educational programs foster communities of like-minded peers who share wisdom and support one another’s growth.
