Retirement, an opportunity to grow up. Yet
Manuela Ladogana
The entry into old age is now sanctioned by the retirement and the loss of social status connected to the worker role. This passage leads very often feelings of worthlessness and emptiness, the lack of opportunities and resources that the elderly person is not always able to oppose new aspirations and interests. Here, we want to propose a pedagogical reflection on the need/possibility to orientate the experience the transition from work to “not work” through educational practices aimed at acquiring appropriate strategies have the aim of governance with respect to the future, assuming other possibilities horizons.
