Discovery and Ideas
Discover something new or do something about turning
your ideas into reality.
It could be about exploring a place or culture you’ve never visited
before (perhaps a trip to China or Russia) or closer to home finding
out about and seeing a bit of your own country’s heritage.
Or is there something you always wanted to research that you never
had time to do before – is it something that would be of value?
Are you still learning? How will you be exercising your mind in
later life, or improving or utilising your skills? How about a
course at the local University, an evening class to learn a
language, creative writing, or something practical like learning to
play the guitar, bricklaying, film making, car maintenance?……. Or
enrolling in the University of the third age?
Have you got ideas that could help the community or country? What
about putting your minds together to come up with a new initiative
that would help the local community or the country and putting it
forward to the appropriate decision makers?
Do you use the internet? Are you up with the latest technology? How
about doing a bit of research and see how technology can benefit
your retirement or be of value to others in later life?
Or does ‘discovery’ mean something entirely different for you? You
tell us.
Your ideas
These are just a few thoughts; we want to hear about
your 'discovery and ideas' activities in retirement (or someone you

Or if you are just getting going we want to
encourage encourage you to use your imagination.
What next?
The Challenge is all about sharing our ideas, so
we would like you to tell us
