Abstract(s)
O crescente envelhecimento da população criou a necessidade de encontrar espaços para
promover a continuação de uma vida ativa e digna na velhice. Realidade com poucas
décadas em Portugal, a educação para os seniores tem apresentado um crescimento
contínuo da aderência dos idosos em instituições como universidades seniores ou da
terceira idade. Recorrendo a inquérito por questionário a discentes e entrevistas a
docentes de uma universidade da terceira idade no município de Oeiras, com o presente
trabalho pretendeu-se estudar os impactos da pandemia da Covid-19 numa instituição de
ensino sénior, bem como as medidas e adaptações implementadas pela instituição no
sentido de prosseguir em segurança as suas atividades, mas também as perspetivas dos
seus alunos.
Concluiu-se que as universidades seniores ou da terceira idade são instituições
essenciais para a continuação da vida saudável e ativa do idoso, inclusive, ou mais
ainda, para garantir interação e convívio em contextos pandémicos, como aconteceu
com durante o período da Covid-19.
The increasing aging of the population created the need to find spaces to promote the continuation of an active and dignified life in old age. A reality with a few decades in Portugal, the education for seniors has shown a continuous growth in the adherence of the elderly to institutions such as senior universities or third age universities. Using a questionnaire survey to students and interviews with teachers from a third age university in the municipality of Oeiras (nearby Lisbon), the present work aimed to study the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic in a senior education institution, as well as the measures and adaptations implemented by the institution in order to safely pursue its activities, but also the perspectives of its students. It was concluded that senior or third age universities are essential institutions for the continuation of healthy and active life for the elderly, including, or even more, to guarantee interaction and conviviality in pandemic contexts, as happened during the Covid-19 period.
