Resumen
El presente artículo relata los inicios y las experiencias generadas en dos actividades de docencia y extensión. La primera se trata de los cursos de “Cultura y persona adulta mayor: retos del nuevo milenio”; la segunda, titulada “Educando para la recreación y uso del tiempo Libre”. El eje central del trabajo de extensión y docencia ha sido el diálogo intergeneracional en la formulación y ejecución de proyectos que coadyuven a la construcción de aprendizajes significativos para la vida. En los encuentros intergeneracionales participan estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional que asisten al Centro de Estudios Generales y personas adultas mayores provenientes de varias comunidades heredianas localizadas en centros diurnos y hogares. Estas actividades se realizan mediante la formulación y ejecución de programas intergeneraciones comprendidos en el marco de la acción institucional que interconecta la extensión universitaria con la docencia. Después de varios años de realizar estas labores en el marco del Proyecto UNA-Vida, se desea compartir y dar a conocer esta experiencia, cuyos resultados han sido muy satisfactorios y gratificantes; lo que reafirma el compromiso de seguir trabajando en la consecución de aprendizajes significativos para la vida que posibiliten el fortalecimiento de la acción sustantiva universitaria para un nuevo humanismo en el siglo XXI.
This article describes the beginnings and experiences generated in two teaching and outreach activities. The first is the course on "Culture and the elderly: challenges of the new millennium"; the second, entitled "Educating for recreation and use of free time". The central axis of the extension and teaching work has been the intergenerational dialogue in the formulation and execution of projects that contribute to the construction of meaningful learning for life. The intergenerational meetings are attended by students from the National University who attend the Center for General Studies and older adults from various Heredian communities located in day centers and homes. These activities are carried out through the formulation and execution of intergenerational programs within the framework of the institutional action that interconnects university extension with teaching. After several years of carrying out these tasks within the framework of the UNA-Vida Project, we wish to share and make known this experience, whose results have been very satisfactory and gratifying; which reaffirms the commitment to continue working in the achievement of significant learning for life that will make possible the strengthening of the university's substantive action for a new humanism in the XXI century.
