Actividades recreativas, inteligencias múltiples y tradición oral de adultos mayores del barrio Juan XXIII localidad de Chapinero

Abstract

In the development of the social internship degree option during the period 2020-2, two actions were carried out: first, aimed at the development of a material (workshops) for working with older adults, from recreation and multiple intelligences as enablers in the recovery of the oral tradition; and secondly, a web page was created oriented to the care of caregivers. It is important to clarify that, due to the health contingency caused by COVID-19, it was not possible to implement the proposal in the territory, specifically with a group of older adults in the Juan XXIII neighborhood of the Chapinero district, a sector in which the Social Projection Center of Chapinero of the Universidad Santo Tomás has social processes, so a document was prepared that compiles the information with which the process was developed. Likewise, this proposal highlights the important role of the elderly in the community; their wisdom in the oral tradition as a cultural expression is only one of the great legacies for our society, it is important to retake it from their experience and daily life, not to implement an action plan through activism, but to learn reciprocally through an exchange of knowledge.
