It encompasses the physical dimension (physical health), the psychological dimension (mental health) and the social dimension (level of independence, relationship with the essential elements of the environment). This article presents the results of a case study that analyzed the experience of the academic activity UNA Calidad de Vida in members of the university community of the Brunca Regional Headquarters and in inhabitants of four cantons of the Brunca Region, during 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019. The pillars of UNA Calidad de Vida are self-knowledge, physical activity, and healthy eating, about which about a hundred free workshops were offered and open to the university and local community. The data were collected by means of two instruments during the four years mentioned above. Among the most outstanding results are: the impact of allocating budget and support from the administration for the successful execution of the activities, the need to redirect the lack of interest on the part of the majority of the university community and the identification of the lack of educational spaces that promote quality of life. On the other hand, the success of the workshops, the positive impact they have had on the participants and an emerging need to improve the quality of life of society turned out to be strengths and opportunities that could enhance the theme at the headquarters through UNA Calidad de Vida and similar projects. Through the analysis of the results, it is recommended to conduct a second stage of research, where the needs of the university community in terms of physical activity, healthy eating and self-knowledge are surveyed; as well as the implementation of workshops and institutional measures to ensure that these three pillars continue to be strengthened in a timely and contextualized manner. Key words: quality of life, self-knowledge, physical activity, nutrition, wellbeing. La calidad de vida involucra factores que influyen en el bienestar de las personas. Abarca la dimensión física (salud física), la dimensión psicológica (salud mental) y la dimensión social (nivel de independencia, relación con los elementos esenciales del entorno). El presente artículo presenta los resultados de un estudio de caso que analizó la experiencia de la actividad académica UNA Calidad de Vida en miembros de la comunidad universitaria de la Sede Regional Brunca y en habitantes de cuatro cantones de la Región Brunca, durante los años 2016, 2017, 2018 y 2019. Los pilares de UNA Calidad de Vida son el autoconocimiento, la actividad física, y la alimentación saludable, acerca de los cuales se ofrecieron alrededor de un centenar de talleres gratuitos y abiertos a la comunidad universitaria y local. Los datos se recolectaron por medio de dos instrumentos a lo largo de los 4 años mencionados. Entre los resultados más sobresalientes se encuentran: el impacto de asignar presupuesto y apoyo de la administración para la ejecución exitosa de las actividades, la necesidad de redireccionar el desinterés por parte de la mayoría de la comunidad universitaria y la identificación de la falta de espacios educativos que promuevan la calidad de vida. Por otro lado, el éxito de los talleres, el impacto positivo que han tenido en los participantes y una emergente necesidad de mejorar la calidad de vida de la sociedad resultaron ser fortalezas y oportunidades que podrían potenciar el tema en la Sede por medio de UNA Calidad de Vida y proyectos similares. Por medio del análisis de los resultados, se recomienda realizar una segunda etapa de investigación, en donde se sondee las necesidades que tiene la comunidad universitaria en cuanto a la actividad física, la alimentación sana y el autoconocimiento; así como la implementación de talleres y medidas institucionales para garantizar que estos tres pilares sigan siendo fortalecidos de manera oportuna y contextualizada.
