In this study we focus on a new program in Cuba, university studies for older adults or seniors. Specifically, we look at the Special Municipality of the Isla de la Juventud (Isle of Youth) in the context of the larger policy of "universalization of higher education." We provide information about Cuban perspectives on adult education, discuss the "workshop" as an important mode of educational work, and present information on both the preparation of those who teach older adults and the training of "facilitators" in the workshop mode. This contribution also presents student evaluations, as well as a critique of the program.
