Abstract(s)
Este projecto acompanha a criação e desenvolvimento do livro Pequenos Contos, Grandes Vidas, que reúne contos baseados na vida de seis pessoas idosas acompanhadas pelo Projecto Mais Proximidade, Melhor Vida (MPMV), que apoia idosos em situação de solidão e isolamento nas freguesias da Baixa de Lisboa. O principal objectivo do livro era envolver os idosos de forma a proporcionar-lhes melhor qualidade de vida e melhorias no seu bem-estar. Para sustentar este objectivo, procedeu-se à revisão bibliográfica do conceito de bem-estar e das suas implicações no processo de envelhecimento, das teorias do desenvolvimento psicossocial de Erik Erikson e de revisão do percurso de vida (life review) de Butler, analisando-se, ainda, as vantagens das narrativas de vida e do storytelling, principalmente para a população idosa. O método utilizado para reunir a informação necessária ao desenvolvimento do livro foi a entrevista biográfica. Como resultado, observaram-se sentimentos de satisfação nas pessoas idosas envolvidas, que durou até, pelo menos, quatro meses depois de o livro ter sido publicado. O livro resulta num produto de comunicação que permite, ainda, angariar fundos para o MPMV.
