Artistic Recreational Activities and their Impact on Vulnerable Populations

Abstract

The study analyzes the implementation of artistic play activities in socio-educational experiences within vulnerable settings, taking into account the importance of adapting these practices to early childhood education and specific contextual conditions. The objective focuses on identifying and systematizing artistic play activities, examining their structure, modes of participation, implementation dynamics, and inter-institutional coordination, with the aim of organizing relevant information regarding socio-educational experiences. The methodology employs a descriptive qualitative approach, based on a documentary analysis of institutional reports, project reports, and pedagogical records, using a systematization matrix that allowed for the organization of information around the defined axes: characterization of activities, implementation dynamics, and coordination among actors. The results show that the activities are carried out with a defined structure, assignment of roles, and group or individual modalities, integrating the participation of children, teachers, and facilitators, as well as coordination among educational institutions, social organizations, and communities. The most notable activities include body expression, drama, group painting, storytelling, and music creation, carried out over a period of one to four months. The findings show that this systematic approach highlights the importance of play as a pedagogical tool, promoting children’s holistic development and the sustainability of socio-educational experiences.
