Artistic strategies for the promotion of community health with young adolescents in vulnerable situations: the case of the ReiaManí Universe
Abstract
Within the "Madrid a Healthy City" (Madrid Salud) strategy, the "ReiaManí Universe" is developed, an artistic mediation initiative that was born from the Art and Health scholarship together with the Socio-educational and Pre-employment Support Program for Adolescents (ASPA). So, artistic-educational workshops are carried out with young people in a situation of social disadvantage, difficulties for the relationship between equals and emotional management. Creative workshops that promote skills for cohesion and social support as protective factors against unwanted loneliness and psychological suffering, the workshop's objective is to build an environment of emotional well-being from art-health relationships and their processes for encounter and imagination. The methodology is proposed from action-research with flexible planning to adapt to collective needs, and it is concluded that the collective construction of the "ReiaManí Universe" has fostered group coexistence and the development of social, emotional and creative skills.
