“Interweaving laces” between the University, art centers and schools

Abstract

Usually the initial training of educational professionals often done at university contexts, the schools are considered contexts to do practices and museums and art centers are not taken into account in teachers training. Therefore, from the Faculty of Educational Sciences of UdL and in the context of initial training of teachers and advisory teachers began to weave the network between the Faculty, schools and community cultural resources to improve training of all involved. Specifically, we have been developing a hybrid space within the Educ-art project with special emphasis on the relationships created between the Faculty of Education, Panera art center and school Princep de Viana in Lleida. We use contemporary art as a mediator of learning and as training and to construct knowledge. Our contribution is framed in social-constructivist approaches that place culture as a basic element for the humanization of people. That is why in our interweaving we put the cultural community resources and museums and art centers in particular as an essential part of networking.
