As usual in recent years, the Senior Citizens’ University of the Universitat Jaume I joins on 1 October the events to commemorate the International Day of Older Persons.

This celebration was promoted by the United Nations (UN) since 1991 and aims to propose public policies and programmes focused on older people so that they remain active in society for much longer.

This commemoration was born as a result of current demographic changes, which place life expectancy at birth above 75 years in half of the countries or areas of the world, i.e. 25 years more than those born in 1950.

This year, the United Nations International Day of Older Persons has as its theme “Ageing with dignity: strengthening systems of care and assistance for older persons worldwide”.

To mark the occasion, the Senior Citizens’ University will gather all its students at the end of their classes in the auditorium of the Faculty of Law and Economics to proceed to the reading of the manifesto and then close the event with a concert led by guitarist Jesús de Vicente.

Since its inception in 1998, the Senior Citizens’ University, a lifelong learning programme for people over 55, has stood out for its commitment to preparing students for a stage of life that continues to grow longer, with over 4,000 participants having taken part in the programme.

During their studies, students receive a flexible, participative and collaborative academic education. In addition to the humanistic and social training inherent to the studies, the programme emphasises the training of students in ICT, languages, personal and physical skills, and the creation of knowledge networks. This training contributes to improving the quality of life in adulthood and enables students to participate in today’s society.
