Abstract

After three decades of existence, the Open University for Senior Citizen at the State University of Ponta Grossa (UATI/ UEPG, Brazilian abbreviation) has built a solid structure for the education of the elderly community of Ponta Grossa and has established itself as a reference for the realization of social values in old age. Based on a functionalist epistemological approach, through descriptive and documentary research, it were collected data that provided a set of characteristics that distinguish it and through which it is possible to individualize it and to demonstrate how its students are divided according to their age, sex, occupation, education and marital status. Thus, based on bibliographic research, it is possible to report the historical context of open universities for senior citizens and the importance of the implementation of the first institution of this kind in the state of Paraná.
