Conexiones entre educación artística y el Marco de Resiliencia para jóvenes en situación de vulnerabilidad

Resumo

Promoting the resilience of young people in vulnerable situations is a key factor in improving their mental health, well-being and contributing to their excellent development and educational success. In this sense, the neurologist Cyrulnik (2013) invites us to explore the connections between art and resilience, stating that “All art forms are a factor of resilience”. We have carried a literature review out to identify relationships between arts education and promote the resilience in children and adolescents in vulnerable situations. After searching for scientific databases, 15 studies were selected, and we categorized their content according to the 5 dimensions of the Resilience Framework (MR) (Hart & et al., 2018). The results show that the arts connect with our basic needs; 1) they stimulate the construction of the territorial, social, personal and community bond; 2) they make it possible to develop meaningful learning and are generators of the appetite for improvement and change; 3) they challenge our preconceived notions of how the world works; and they allow one to investigate the emotional through the expression and understanding of personal processes. Art education plays an important role in promoting resilience in young people for its connections in the 5 dimensions of MR (Basic needs, Belonging, Learning, Coping and Core Self). However, a gap is identified in the literature on promoting resilience through arts education in formal education. That is why it is proposed to generate artistic educational practices and actions to promote resilience in a globalized way in educational centres with students in vulnerable situations.
