The educational system opened its doors to new
students’ profiles, apart from those coming from
high school, since there is an increase in students
coming from vocational training, over 25, 40 and
55, foreigners, with different backgrounds and so
forth. This heterogeneity is undoubtedly a driving
force for updating more realistic teaching
methodologies to connect with the social
diversity, which requires different learning
methods. Miguel Hernández University has been
developing the Senior Experience Classrooms for
20 years. Journalistic writing is offered as a
supplementary course where, specifically, the
editing of the cultural journal Ágora Universitaria
takes place. By employing a case study, this
article analyses the teaching of journalistic writing
content adapted for students over 60 years of
age in non-formal education. Features in relation
to competencies, objectives and content
achieved are evaluated by means of the
interview method and participant observation.
The conclusions highlight an increased interest in
the profession, a breakdown of associated
stereotypes and prejudices, a better knowledge
of routines, a distinction of genres, management
and an access to sources associated with these
processes.
