Essa iniciativa, sob orientação do Núcleo de Estudos e Pesquisas da Terceira Idade (NEPTI), tem como eixo norteador a concepção de educação ao longo toda a vida, na perspectiva de delinear pautas sociais e culturais de ação solidária que possibilitem o resgate da consciência social dos idosos na luta pelo reconhecimento de direitos sociais, de sua autonomia, capacidade de integração e participação na sociedade. Constitui-se assim, em um projeto de revalorização do bairro que integra a ação solidária e cidadã das alunas/idosos da UATI e dos idosos residentes no bairro, tendo como resultante das ações empreendidas a criação do Grupo de Convivência Viver Feliz. Palavras-chave: Terceira Idade. Cidadania. Solidariedade. Participação Social.

The article is devoted to the urgent problem of finding ways of social integration of senior citizens  to the conditions of the rapidly changing society. The main idea is to use the resources of life-long education for providing retired people  with the conditions to obtain information about the world on a systematic basis. The subject of the research are the form and the content of senior citizens’ lifelong education that is aimed at preserving their active life style and enriching their intrapersonal potential. The article gives the social-pedagogical model of lifelong uducation of elderly people that corresponds to their needs, and describes  the author's conceptual basis (openness of education, voluntariness, focus on the learners’ needs) and the content of the model (giving knowledge, developing skills, interaction and self-development training). The methods of the research are modeling and pedagogical natural experiment. The five-year experience of implementing the model of senior citizens’ lifelong education in the form of  "University of the Third Age" allows the authors to conclude that it is effective. In the students’ opinion, the educational programs of "University of the Third Age" meet their cognitive needs, provide their social integration, help them to maintain active life style, increase their satisfaction with the quality of their life. Thus, higher educational institutions can and should become the place where senior citizens can get education and training.

RESUMEN: Desde hace tiempo se vienen analizando los fenómenos que acontecen en la denominada «sociedad cognitiva». Particularmente en Europa el tema cobra mayor interés a partir de la publicación: «Enseñary aprender: hacia la sociedad cognitiva».El presente artículo tiene como objetivo básico exponer los rasgos más importantes y las demandas de esta sociedad en relación con el grupo de personas cada vez más numeroso: las personas mayores o también denominadas de la «Tercera Edad».En este contexto se estudian las relaciones entre sociedad cognitiva y fenómeno demográfico que nos muestran un número cada vez más importante de personas mayores. Junto a este hecho sociológico se debate el problema de su formación a partir de los presupuestos de una educación permanente de carácter humanista y democrático frente a la visión neoliberal centrada en la propuesta unilateral del capital humano.Desde esta propuesta educativa se comentan los diversos programas que hoy existen para los mayores haciendo tanto un breve recorrido histórico de las distintas ofertas como un estudio de las más actuales que se realizan por parte de las universidades: universidades de la Tercera Edad, universidades de la Experiencia, «Cuartos Ciclos» universitarios para personas mayores.ABSTRACT: Analysis of the phenomena which occur in the so-called «cognitive society» has been going for a long time in education. Particulary in Europe, the issue of the «cognitive society» has gained interest since the publication of «Enseñar y aprender: hacia la sociedad cognitiva (Teaching and Learning: Aiming at the Cognitivy Society).The main purpose of this paper is to show the most relevant features and demands of this kind of society in relation to a group of people that is steadily growing in number: senior citizens (also named as the «Third Age»).Within this context, we having studied the relations between the cognitive society and the demography, it can be said that the number of elderly people in the community is indeed growing. Together with this sociological phenomenon, and based on the belief in the need for continuous formation we analyse the problem of this «life-long learning» formation process. Of course, our idea of formation throughout life has a humanistic and democratic character, which is very different from the neoliberal vision, based on the unilateral proposal of the human capital.With this educational proposal in mind, throughout the article we will comment on the various programmes created for the elderly that exist at present. We will run through a brief history of different programmes available, but we will also refer to the up-to-date offers given by universities, such as Universities for Senior Citizens (named in Spain as «Third Age Universities»), Universities of Experience, and «Fourth University Cicles» for the older generation.

Cultural Regeneration

Ian Watson's article looks at two separate but interrelated subjects – the role of the arts in remedying urban dereliction, now a global phenomenon; and the development of one specific arts gathering in healing the larger wounds of Peruvian society after years of civil warfare and economic chaos. It was from the Peruvian city of Ayacucho, in the late sixteenth century, that the first noteworthy revolt against the Spanish Conquistadors was launched, by the legendary Inca leader Túpac Amaru. It was to this city that Mario Delgado, founder of the Lima-based group Cuatrotablas, invited the Third Theatre gathering, just two years after its inauguration from Eugenio Barba's initiative in 1976. The use of the city as a base for the most prominent of the guerrilla groups made a decennial return of the Third Theatre gathering impossible – and the reasons for holding the 1998 gathering in Ayacucho all the stronger, not least because of the choice of the city by the state-funded agency PromPeru as a focus for national cultural regeneration. Ian Watson, an Advisory Editor and regular contributor to NTQ who teaches at the Rutgers campus of the State University of New Jersey, knits together the threads of the story.

It is the presentation of the results verified in the scope of mental health, based on empirical research, through the application of soft care technology conceptualized as Integrative Community Therapy (ICT) circles in an academic community of the Open University of the Third Age (UNATI) of the Western Paraná State University/Foz do Iguaçu in partnership with the Extension Project of the Federal University of Latin American Integration “Integrating UNILA with conversation circles” from 05/04/18 to 05/10/18. The study demonstrated that the psychosocial methodology developed in the ICT circles has the potential to equip participants to face the crisis of integrity, mobilizing a protected scenario to wisely appreciate the path taken in their own lives, understanding and integrating the path of other participants, confronting the experiences, as conscience, from collective experience and overcoming challenges within the same generation.

This article analyzes the main problems of urban public spaces, because today public spaces can determine the future of cities. It is noted that parks are multifunctional public spaces in the urban environment, as they are an important element of the citywide system of landscaping and recreation, perform health, cultural, educational, aesthetic and environmental functions. The article notes that the need for easily accessible and well-maintained urban parks remains, however, the state of parks in many cities of Russia remains unsatisfactory, requiring reconstruction. A brief historical background of the Park of Culture and Rest of the Soviet period in Omsk is expounded, the analysis of the existing territory of the Park is presented. It is revealed that the Park, being the largest public space in Omsk, does not meet the requirements of modern urbanism, although it represents a great potential for designing the space for the purpose of recreation of citizens. Performed functional zoning scheme of the territory of the Park in question, where its division into functional areas destined for active recreational users of the Park is presented, considered the interests of senior citizens, people with limited mobility, etc. Reconstruction of Parks of the Soviet period can provide the city with additional recreational opportunities, as well as increase its tourist attractiveness.
