Institutions of higher education are called upon to promote spaces of building experiences and learnings for a more just and equitable society, or one that demands a collective commitment, linked to the realities of the world. In this case, the central issue is aging, which must be addressed from the point of view of social inclusion, respect and integral well-being, in a deep articulation in our academic and social environments, contributing to a shift of paradigms, from the conception of what aging can be. from it, a deeper and more respectful view of this phase and of the knowledge that encompasses it. In front of the exhibition, the aim is to promote the understanding and valuation of aging through a socio-educational methodological strategy in the university community. This framework is articulated between three areas: the curriculum stage, the socio-emotional stage and, finally, the Creation stage of collective experiences. These are framed in the connection of elements that are configured holistically so that the university community understands, values ​​and acts in accordance with the importance of the aging process and the socio-cultural value that must be provided in the sphere of the most integral people. From now on, we have in mind: pedagogical practice, institutional guidelines, information and communication technologies, social planning, academic practice, cultural activities, socio-emotional support, in order to manage future dialogical encounters that promote self-care different stages of life.
