Abstract

Results of the Institutional Project "Impact of the didactic strategy for the socio-humanistic development of health professionals" are presented. Using empirical, theoretical and statistical mathematical methods, primary information was obtained on the contribution of elder adults to the observance of virtues and environmental ethical values, and theoretical references and foundations were systematized to solve the scientific problem of how to contribute from elder adults to the observance of environmental ethical values. After characterizing its initial state, the objective was defined to design a policy of actions to strengthen the contribution of elder adults to the observance of ethical values, as environmental educational agents, seen as a social innovation whose relevance and feasibility was validated by pre-experiment and users' criteria.
