For this, we highlight the developmental transformations of the aged participants on specific extension activities at an institutional shelter service in Brasilia, Brazil. The methodology involved painting workshops, exhibitions in public spaces, and interviews with the mediation of artistic resources and autobiographical narratives. The analyses used the sociocultural psychology of the life-course. New learning experiences, identity changes, and new projects for the future took place among participants. We point out the need for transformations in the training of psychologists, in order to better qualify their performance according to public policies aimed at ensuring the rights of the elderly.
