Abstract
This article presents an evaluation of an intergenerational education experience at the University of
Castilla-La Mancha (Spain). For this evaluation, following a review of the literature regarding the
state of the issue, we undertake an analysis of benefits and disadvantages from the perspective of the
participants. Among the benefits we find that the majority of those questioned would repeat the program,
and that classroom atmosphere improved notably. Participants listed the exceptional nature of
the program and the teachers needing to make methodological adjustments to improve the experience
(the pace of teaching, adaptation to the profile of the participants) among the disadvantages.
