Abstract: Introduction: This research projects a current topic related to population aging and the functioning of the University Chair for the Elderly on the Isle of Youth. Objective: To analyze the aging process in Cuba, as well as the functioning of the University Chair for the Elderly on the Isle of Youth. Development: A qualitative approach was used, combining methods to obtain data through observations, interviews, documentary analysis, personal experiences and narratives to explore objectives, nature, possibilities and limitations of the program. The educational program is highly valued in increasing the self-esteem of the elderly, resulting in positive success in the elderly people who make up the chair, increasing awareness of the importance of caring for the elderly. Conclusions: Adult education in Cuba favors the continuous and permanent education of this population sector to put them at the level of technological, social and scientific changes and developments in the current context, thus enabling the increase in their well-being and quality of life. The participants of Isla de la Juventud demonstrate personal successes in the development of skills to face aging and cooperate with the development of society.
