Three visions and perspectives
The EducArts! methodology improves democratic education through the use of narratives based on art and creativity as an attractive medium to spread values beyond borders. EducArts! bases its methodological proposal on three fundamental pillars:
· What we don’t know cannot be part of us:
looking at Human Values
· What we don’t use disappears, it doesn’t exist:
looking at Art, Culture and Creativity
· What grows, grows from within:
From people to action: looking at Human Being

Seven ArtScenarios
ArtScenarios involve various fields of action: observe, share, analyze, express, transform, design, and transcend. This allows the educator to work in a learning situation through a multitude of activities that relate rights and values to arts and creativity. It is the educator’s choice how many learning situations to address (one or several) according to the educational objectives

Learning situations
EducArts! considers essential the implementation of pedagogical proposals that, based on the interest of citizens, allow them to build knowledge with autonomy and creativity from their own learning and experiences. Learning situations represent an effective tool to integrate knowledge through meaningful and relevant tasks and activities to solve problems creatively and cooperatively, reinforcing self-esteem, autonomy, reflection and responsibility.
The educator knows the philosophy behind the activities and the key points to take into account (EducArts! Perspectives), starts from concrete and structured proposals with pre-set objectives and suggested artistic actions and applications (ArtScenarios) to create adapted educational spaces that are coherent with the environment and the students (Learning Situations)
