Methodologically a questionnaire has been prepared, which has been filled up by the teaching staff, and composed by a total of 12 items in which it has been pretended to obtain information about if the Classroom of Experience facilitates these women the access to education, the social relations, the associativity and the participation, if it foments the cohabitation and tolerance, the individual and group implication of the students, etc. from their perspective. In the results we verify the majority of professorship esteem this program promotes the improvement of the sociocultural and educational situation of women older 50 years old women in our context. We finally conclude affirming that, the Classroom of Experience constitutes an undoubtedly source of social, cultural and educational benefits in favour of achieving a gender improvement for this collective.
