Abstract

Several psychoeducational workshops that promote social inclusion and participation - as well as being key instrument to promote health- have been created due to the changes in the assumptions and paradigms that address aging. These tools are increasingly varied and are carried out in universities, retirement homes, civil associations, or government agencies. The emergence of this vast educational offer takes into account an active aging and sustains the idea of education throughout life. This article aims to present the dynamics of a workshop that invites seniors to tell about and share their life stories. The basis of this proposal starts from a vital need, that is, to put into words significant life events. The intention of this paper is to share experiences lived in this workshop and to view its dynamics and methodology in order to show how older people redefine their stories through storytelling and sharing of memories.
