Abstract

In this article we present the outreach experience (Call made by Resolution HCD 156/2020/21) of students and professors of the Faculty of Dentistry of UNC in two schools, one located outside the ring road and another inside the province, where grandparents and parents are the protagonists of non-formal education in primary schools. The objective was to tell the experience lived: in relation to oral health, sharing a moment of exchange between these two generations and valuing these older adults. The methodology was based on methodological tools such as: workshops, drawings in reflective meetings and activities proposed as the reading of a story and the pleasant exchange of knowledge and experiences, allowing the collective construction of knowledge on the subject we are involved in.
