This article is written as an account of experience resulting from an academic process conducted at the National University of Costa Rica, specifically at the Center for General Studies. The process aimed to promote the psychological well-being of university students through interventions in positive psychology (IPP) and physical exercise and, in turn, to develop skills in the academic staff of the Center for General Studies to manage positive psychology interventions. The methodology used in this academic project consisted of a series of interventions through the following three courses: 1) environment and health, 2) the image of the elderly person in the different texts and 3) literary expression workshop: story and poetry. The particular experiences of the interventions conducted in each course are outlined throughout this account. Likewise, challenges and learning for each course were obtained from these interventions. Training was provided on theoretical bases and the implementation procedure of the three IPPs reviewed. At the end of the training process, the relevant ways of including the principles and interventions of positive psychology and positive education in the methodological strategy of the course program were jointly determined. This experience generated possibilities for the different disciplines to work closely on a common plan for academic praxis in teaching and research; as a multidisciplinary pedagogy, it is rooted in interdisciplinarity. El presente artículo se desarrolla como un relato de experiencia que resulta de un proceso académico impartido en la Universidad Nacional, específicamente en el Centro de Estudios Generales. El proceso tuvo como objetivo promover el bienestar psicológico de estudiantes universitarios mediante intervenciones en psicología positiva (IPP) y ejercicio físico y, a su vez, desarrollar capacidades en el personal académico del Centro de Estudios Generales para gestionar intervenciones de psicología positiva. La metodología empleada en este proyecto académico consistió en una serie de intervenciones mediante los siguientes tres cursos: 1) ambiente y salud, 2) la imagen de la persona adulta mayor en los diferentes textos y 3) taller de expresión literaria: cuento y poesía. Las experiencias particulares del desarrollo de las intervenciones en cada curso se reseñan en todo este relato. Asimismo, de lo anterior se obtuvieron los retos y aprendizajes para cada curso; además, se brindó capacitación sobre las bases teóricas y el procedimiento de implementación de las tres IPP reseñadas. Al finalizar el proceso de capacitación, de manera conjunta se determinaron las formas pertinentes de incluir los principios e intervenciones de psicología positiva y educación positiva en la estrategia metodológica del programa de curso. Dicha experiencia generó posibilidades para que las diferentes disciplinas trabajaran de manera estrecha en un plan común para la praxis académica en la docencia e investigación; como pedagogía multidisciplinaria se enrumba hacia la interdisciplinariedad.
