Project title

La Hora del Recreo

Description of initiative

La Hora del Recreo is a regional strategy that provides artistic activities for socio-emotional development through the arts, for primary and secondary students from the municipalities of Dolores Hidalgo, San Felipe, San Diego de la Unión and San Miguel de Allende. The face-to-face activities supported students to express their emotions felt in pandemic, and during the workshops organized in schools students create a scenario from a story with which they identified in pandemic. The creative micro laboratories are essential to cope with the stress generated by the pandemic and be prepared for learning, as well as to improve their social and emotional skills while interacting with each other. For the Ministry of Education of Guanajuato it is essential to take care of the mental health of children and young students, as well as educational staff, therefore, artistic experiences are generated through disciplines such as theater and visual arts.
