The Academy for Seniors of CityU was officially launched in March 2025. Upholding the concepts of “lifelong learning” and “social inclusion,” it is committed to providing a diversified learning and experience platform for senior citizens aged 55 or above, strengthening their sense of community belonging, promoting social interaction, and helping the elderly improve their life quality. Going forward, the Academy for Seniors will continue to cooperate with different social service institutions in Macao. Through a lifelong education curriculum and community service platform, it will promote the physical and mental health of the elderly, enhance their social participation, and help them realize their self-worth and happiness in the late life.
The "CityU Macau Academy for Seniors" is not just a learning platform but also a bridge to promote social inclusion. We believe that learning knows no bounds, and life can be more wonderful.
