informe final de pasantía ong Habider international

Abstract

This report systematizes the internship experience conducted at the NGO Habider Internacional during the second semester of 2025, framed within pedagogical processes based on art, with an emphasis on dance, and aimed at people with disabilities. The internship was developed in a non-formal education context and focused on accompanying adults and older adults with cognitive disabilities, autism spectrum disorders, and, in one specific case, hearing impairment. The internship had an administrative duration of six months, of which four months corresponded to direct pedagogical work. Activities were mainly conducted on Fridays and included teaching dance classes, supporting other training areas such as music, visual arts, and logical thinking, as well as participating in planning and pedagogical feedback spaces. Dance was approached as a mediating tool to promote bodily expression, physical and emotional well being, and social participation, prioritizing the learning process over technical performance. From a flexible methodological approach, the classes were adapted to the learning rhythms and specific needs of the participants, recognizing diversity as a central element of the educational process. This experience allowed for reflection on the role of the teacher as a pedagogical mediator in inclusive contexts and demonstrated that learning is possible when safe, sensitive, and respectful environments are created. The report highlights the importance of interdisciplinary work and art as a pedagogical tool for strengthening inclusive educational processes.
