CUELLO-LACOUTURE, Lina María  and  JARAMILLO-JARAMILLO, Jimena del Pilar. Systematization of Experience Recognition of the Human Rights of Elderly Citizens in Two Families Residing in Cali and Valledupar (Colombia). Prospectiva [online]. 2021, n.31, pp.201-219.  Epub Jan 01, 2021. ISSN 0122-1213.  https://doi.org/10.25100/prts.v0i31.10565.

The systematization of the experience of the Family Counseling Project: “Recognition of the human rights of the elderly in two families residing in Cali and Valledupar”; was developed during the months of February to November 2017, through a participatory process with the families S.P. in Valledupar and C.V. in Cali. The aim was to achieve family and social recognition of the elderly as subjects with rights, encouraging their participation and enhancing their resources and skills, from a human rights and intergenerational support perspective.

The construction of the project was carried out through the integration of contributions from Participatory Action Research and the Logical Framework Methodology; the implementation was executed in family counseling scenarios from a Systemic Approach in which two fundamental axes emerged: social participation and co-responsibility. Finally, in the results, the important role played by the family in the recognition of the elderly as subjects of law was predominant.

Keywords : Elderly adulthood; Human rights; Intergenerational relations; Social participation; Co-responsibility.
