The intervention here described aimed to contribute to the harmonious development of senior users of day centers in all their personal dimensions so that they become autonomous, participative and active. Using interpretative-hermeneutic paradigm, we rely on a participatory action research, built and implemented in two day centers in the county of Póvoa de Lanhoso, district of Braga, Portugal, which had a total of 25 users: 12 in the social center A and 13 in the social center B. That objective crossed all the implemented activities and was achieved as shown by the good results obtained in the evaluation of the intervention (and each activity). Continuous and final evaluation provided also check that all activities carried out were liked by the persons; they also allowed to demonstrate that those persons produced new knowledge that helped them in their daily lives, increasing therefore their quality of life and making them more autonomous, participative and active.
