A University within the

From a humanistic and contemporary perspective, Mônica Valle Vieira presents, in a clear and objective manner, the creation and implementation of a UTI at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Lisbon. The socio-cultural approach to old age in its physical, emotional, and psychological aspects, combined with an understanding of the phenomenological processes of aging, creates a dynamic of inclusion that advocates for their reintegration into the community, both culturally and socially. The use of physical space in the aforementioned institution, as well as intergenerational relationships through volunteering, provide a new way to stimulate non-formal education. This project seeks, in a realistic and cohesive way, to promote the interaction of senior citizens in the educational process, thus restoring their identity as active members of society.
