Beyond disciplinary limits and traditional learning, methodologies ArtCC Proposal for Communities, Art, Science and Territories in Action

Abstract

This article contains the interpretative and critical analysis of the sequence of creative, scientific, artistic and cultural processes led by the collective Art + Science = Consciousness (ArtCC), developed in the Coquimbo region Chile. The ArtCC project, implemented since 2020, integrates the knowledge of art and science to promote social and transformative learning. Thus, the problem covered by this research comprises the need to transform the relationships of individuals with their environment, fostering critical thinking, social responsibility and cultural appreciation, specifically in communities, territories and contexts marked by serious social and environmental challenges. This set of problems is addressed through the implementation of innovative and active educational methodologies that break down disciplinary silos and promote collaborative learning environments, inspired by critical pedagogy and education for social transformation. The learning methodology proposed by ArtCC is interdisciplinary and experiential, using play, creativity and collaboration as fundamental tools for learning. This educational and socio-cultural transformation approach has generated a significant impact in the Coquimbo region, showing positive results in various dimensions, from the creation of innovative educational programs to the strengthening of the social and community weave. The ArtCC project is consolidated as an inspiring educational experience with a transforming impact, opening new routes towards a more meaningful, relevant and committed education with the challenges of the XXI century.
