Summary/Abstract: The work deals with educational­-cultural activity of people’s universities in Vojvodina (1918–1941). They were established as secondary or elementary school extensions. These institutions represent a relatively particular type of people’s universities, somewhat different from others in Yugoslavia at the time. They were especially specific for successful organization of Serbo-Croatian language winter courses for adult members of national minorities. They were also focused, more than other similar institutions, on cultural and educational activities in the country. There were approximately 30 people’s universities established in Vojvodina, and they were considered one of the most adequate adult institutions for educational work in agricultural communities.
