This study aims to acquire more knowledge about the meaning of intrinsic values in organisedpost-work non-formal educational activities for older adults. Observations andfocus group interviews were conducted at a senior university in Sweden. John Dewey’sconcept of experience and theory of value are used to facilitate a deeper understandingof the intrinsic values that were identified. The results of the study demonstrate whatintrinsic values in education for older adults can be, as well as how they are experienced.Several intrinsic values were identified: (i) new insights and widened perspectives, (ii)the reflective process, (iii) enrichment, (iv) meaningfulness, (v) enjoyment, (vi)peacefulness, (vii) existential awareness, (viii) relational support and (ix) sense ofcommunity. The results further reveal how the values of education are experienced in theinteractions and relations between older individuals and the social environment in theongoing education and that the activities themselves are valued by the participants.
