Artistic training as a means of social transformation in Colombian minors deprived of liberty
Abstract
The Artistic Program of Social Restoration-(PARES) was conceived as an educational
strategy supported by the Colombian Ministry of Culture and carried out in the municipality of
Piedecuesta in Santander, Colombia. In this arts-based educational research, we focused on the specific
case of art therapy as a means of social transformation, developing a mixed methodology. In it, a total
of twelve workshops on pinhole camera, ideation and product design were carried out to three groups,
one of 14 girls and two of 15 boys between 14 and 18 years old, who were deprived of liberty or in
preventive internment in the Claret Foundation at the time this project was carried out. The program
wants to confirm that the promotion of these creative activities developed in the workshops with these
adolescents, improves the development of their emotions and skills, which means more opportunities
for social inclusion.
