The present study corresponds to the Thesis of the Master’s Degree in Social Intervention of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) within the framework of the UBACYT Scholarship for postgraduate research of the Faculty of Social Sciences of the UBA. The purpose of the research proposal is to know and characterize the workshop as a device for social intervention within the framework of gerontological social policies in contexts of inequality from a perspective located in the Latin American context. Inequality in old age as a manifestation of the social issue in Latin America includes the production and reproduction of social relations of power that configure exclusive discriminatory processes based on the chronological age of old age, acquiring particularities around power relations based on the imposition of the hierarchical classification of gender, class, ethnicity/race, territory in each historical moment. They include processes that naturalize inequality in old age, making invisible and denying the participation in the social process of certain older people for the mere fact of being old and because of the position in which they are placed in this social classification, stressing the exercise of people’s rights. greater. In these processes, a field of meaning disputes opens up in the construction of old age as a subject of gerontological social policies. Since the 1970s, neoliberal policies have produced a fragmentation of the intergenerational social bond where the participation spaces of the old age in the social process enter into crisis. In contexts of deepening inequalities, various pioneering experiences emerged that configured instituting movements in the construction of the workshop as a social intervention device. It includes a collective construction in the interrelation of social interventions from the integral and legal perspective, and the resistance practices of the old age historically invisible in the construction of a new space for the participation of the old age in social life. Thus, it is configured as a social and political space, of identity and belonging, which is oriented towards the recomposition of the social bond. The work intends to contribute to the orientation of gerontological social policies from a decolonial, integral and legal perspective.
