Resumo(s)
Photovoice is a qualitative and participatory action research technique, through which people create and discuss photographs as a means of triggering personal and community change. This study presents the Perene project, in which older persons from residential structures and day centers in the central interior of Portugal were challenged to reflect and share aspects of their advanced lives through photographs taken by themselves. The program took place separately in six Social Solidarity Institutions, with 24 persons, aged between 61 and 99 (mean 82.6, SD 9.2), the majority was female (16), widows (15), and had never been to school (13). In each Institutions, there were five artistic residencies to support the photographing process and five group sessions to present the photos of the prompts: (i) Places where I feel good, (ii) People from who I like; (iii), Objects with my memories; (iv) What is good for me; (v) What I would like to change around me. To finalize, focus-groups with the participants and interviews with professionals allowed us to understand their perspectives on these experiences, including possible benefits.
