In a country where life expectancy is on the rise, it is essential to research about the factors that contribute to a better quality of life for the elderly population. This research seeks to analyze the contributions of the extension actions of the project “Active Citizenship: Interaction of the Elderly at the University” of UNEMAT - Campus Sinop for the promotion of the social insertion of the elderly. To give theoretical support to research in relation to the aging process, we use CAMARGO; PASSINATO (2008), IBGE (2015), among others. Regarding the empowerment of the elderly and learning we use KLEBA; WENDAUSEN (2009), PAULO FREIRE (1972), among others and to support the importance of university extension we use ANDES (2003); NASCIMENTO (2013); LDB (1996); FORPROEX (2012); FREIRE (1971), among others. This is a descriptive research, with a qualitative approach and as for the technical procedures of data collection, it is characterized as a case study and field research in the extension project for the elderly at Unemat Campus de Sinop.
