The 2018-2019 academic year of the Senior Citizens' University [Universitat per a Majors] closed in the Auditorium of the Universitat Jaume I in an act presided over by the rector of the UJI, Eva Alcón, who also had the presence of representatives of the Castelló City Hall, the Social Council, the academic director of the Senior Citizens' University, Elsa González, and the coordinator of this programme, Pilar Escuder. The closing lecture, entitled "The impact of everyday life: between urban legend and scientific knowledge", was given by Rosario Vidal, a lecturer of Engineering at the UJI.

During this academic year, the permanent training programme of the UJI has counted with 1,045 students: 715 students were present on the University campus in Castelló (265 undergraduate students and 450 postgraduate students) and 330 in the Classrooms for the Elderly in the different venues (Sede del Interior, dels Ports, del Nord and del Camp de Morvedre).

The following points of the training programme should be highlighted: quality, flexible, participative and collaborative academic training; teaching of training for students in ICT, languages, personal skills and towards physical and psychological well-being; creation of knowledge networks: WikiSènior, *Renaixement* magazine and Senior Virtual Library; and research in areas of active ageing, pedagogy applied to adults, and the use of ICTs in the elderly.

The Senior Citizens' University, as part of its research and in the European context of the Erasmus+ programmes, currently has two projects that promote innovation in tools and pedagogical models aimed at older people. Three projects are being worked on during this academic year: CLEAR, resources for training and reuse of knowledge in a circular economy; TICTac+55, learning techniques combined with ICT for over 55s and Online Training: the treasure within (OnTrain), inspired by the 1996 UNESCO Delors report "Learning; the treasure within". The OnTrain project aims to make explicit and exploitable the treasure that online education also has.

It should be remembered that the Universitat per a Majors held its twentieth course this year. Currently, the permanent training programme for people over 55 is fully consolidated and with a permanent spirit of improvement, progress and adaptation. The academic offer includes a graduate, with a core structure common to all students; and a postgraduate course that allows students to continue training in those itineraries that are most interesting and appropriate to their academic and personal requirements. And finally, in order not to discriminate by territory or age, a course in Human and Social Sciences is offered in six municipalities in our geographical area. This offer is complemented by technological and linguistic skills courses, dynamic activities and workshops.
