Rocío Gil, the councillor for Education, Sports, and Equality, emphasised the importance of maintaining a municipal offering that meets the interests of the community and encourages participation in educational and social activities. “The Universitat Popular is a space for meeting and learning that allows Valencians to stay active, develop their interests, and share experiences with others. The enrolment figures reflect the appeal of diverse proposals such as gymnastics, visual arts, and cognitive stimulation,” Gil stated.
