Pintando y danzando memoria y relatos

Abstract

This research work is possible thanks to different studies that have focused on observing resilience in childhood as a source of information to strengthen and develop processes through different artistic manifestations. A constant dialogue was established between childhood, resilience, art, empathy, storytelling, and memories. This research took place in the Colegio de la Bici educational institution, which is in the seventh town of Bosa, in the official Argelia neighborhood, operating on a single day and offering mixed education from preschool, basic and academic secondary, with approximately 1000 students and 45 teachers and administrators. Research carried out in Artistic Education-dance classes, directed by the present researcher with a degree in basic education with an emphasis on Artistic Education, in fourth and fifth grades, with boys and girls between 9 and 12 years of age. The methodology of this research is based on a logographic approach, where its main axis main axis is narratives and memories, placing them as an aid of art to achieve resilience, with a qualitative cut and thus, a phenomenological investigation that allowed visualizing the reality of each participant through their experiences and how they relate individually to the world, as well as showing the need to give importance to empathy in the classroom. For the above, the following question was raised: How do the boys and girls of the District Educational institution, the Colegio de la Bici, express and manifest resilience practices in the face of adverse situations? Which allowed using the stories and life narratives of different boys and girls, to recover experiences and capture them through the scenery of the dance, a tribute that results in resilience. For the data collection, different instruments were designed, such as written and narrative autobiographies, as well as dance autobiographies, photographic ethnographies, drawing, conversations, surveys and interviews, and field notes, in a population of 160 children, who are distributed in four groups of forty students, the information found in the different tools was classified, highlighting four cases where the main categories of analysis and various problems were identified, such as abandonment, evil physical and psychological treatment, forced displacement and ab senses due to loss. Then stories of resilience were co-created through different artistic expressions, strengthening empathy in the classroom. Having, as well as a conclusion, that children have social responses and adaptation when they share their story, in turn changes the perception of them in the classroom. And sensitizes those who listen to them, forming empathy and improving interpersonal relationships. The work carried out from Artistic Education allows the creation of resilience processes, manifested in workshops and staging, improving academic conditions and moods, when parents, caregivers or teachers are interested in the physical and psychological state of children.
