Event: Sixth International Summer Senior University (organized by the Open University for Seniors (UOM) of the UIB)
Title: "Tourism and European citizenship in the Balearic Islands"
Dates: Majorca, from 9th  to 15th September 2013.

The main goal of this program is to facilitate social relationships and the exchange of knowledge and experiences among the group of older people from different European countries within a university context.

This year, according to the declaration of 2013 as International Year of European citizenship, the edition will be focused on "Tourism and European citizenship in the Balearic Islands". Based on the importance that tourism has had, and still have, in our islands for developing an open-minded and cosmopolitan society, we will show this evolution from a rural to a globalized society. Therefore, we have organized workshops, lectures, tours and visits that will allow our students to discover how Majorcan society has been built.

The Department of Attention to Dependence and Promotion of Personal Autonomy promotes the fourth Ageing Yearbook which aim is to encourage personal autonomy and improve the quality of life of the older adults of the Balearic Islands.

As in the last years, the yearbook analyzes the current reality of this group of people and explains the main interventions in chapters written by professionals and researchers that work in different disciplines and work areas. For you to be able to know the yearbook, we invite you to the presentation that will take place on the 24th November, at 19:30, in the Caixaforum of Palma.
