The aim of this study is to describe the ways of spending free time by people aged over 50, working, with higher education. Free time as an element of the culture of everyday life accompanies man from the dawn of time. Free time should therefore be used for the regeneration of physical and mental strength, entertainment, and the development of individual interests and talents. The choice of forms of spending free time is influenced by interests, hobbies, age, gender and economic status. Technological progress, rapid urbanization, and stress-laden life constitute a challenge for modern society, motivating to take the initiative in organizing active leisure in free time, which may have a positive effect on the human body. Pilot studies for the international Polish-Ukrainian project "A step before retirement" were carried 20 inhabitants of Kiev Ukraine and 20 inhabitants of Wloclawek Poland.
