Abstract

The article presents the pedagogical and gerontological experience of a university extension pilot workshop, created and developed by the EAPS/USP group, Brazil. The main objective was to explore the construction of appearance and its meanings along the aging process of the nine elderly participants, under the individualized monitoring of undergraduate and postgraduate students and invited professionals. The experience showed the potential of the appearance variable in gerontological management, being capable of sensitizing and promoting reflections about the diversity of aging and the debate of myths and stereotypes of old age.
