摘要：AbstractThis article focuses on lifelong learning organisations that currently offer courses and activities for senior citizens (people over 55 years old or retired). The main aims of these organisations are usually to improve the skills and knowledge of the learners in subjects like information and communication technologies, economics, history, arts, health, etc. In a broad sense the aims of these institutions are to help seniors integrate in today's society, to socialize and raise their well being and quality of life. The concept of “quality of life” is a commonly used term that needs clarification. This article first offers an analysis to model the impact of education on quality of life and then identifies the best quality of life indicators that can be used to evaluate any educational program. An analysis of current publications, study cases and qualitative research was carried out in the Senior Citizens’ University (Universitat Jaume I, Castellon, Spain).
