ABSTRACT:
Based on the premise that the university must act as an agent of social transformation in the face of population aging, the extension project “Building Literary Bridges: Reflections on Aging in the Dialogue between University and Community” was born at São Judas Tadeu University. Aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, the initiative elected literature, with an emphasis on narratives by female authors, as the core for in-depth discussions on aging. Held weekly in a virtual environment, the meetings explored fiction' s unique capacity to reveal the affective, social, and existential layers of old age; dimensions that are often simplified or silenced. This experience report highlights literature as a critical mirror and pedagogical tool, capable of humanizing the debate and building essential dialogical bridges for a more dignified and complex understanding of old age.
