Emotions to Dance: Digital Artistic Educational Project

Research output: Contribution to conferencePosterpeer-review

Abstract

The aim of this work is to present the project Emotions to Dance: Digital Educational Artistic, which the main goal is to
use Creative Dance as an educational tool to approach the emotions of children between 6 and 10 years old, which
corresponds to the 1st Cycle of Basic Education, in Portugal. The aim is to develop emotional intelligence and improve
children's socio-emotional skills by combining artistic activities with digital education. Specific activities will be integrated to
promote emotional competences such as self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy and social skills. Digital education is very
important since digital resources are used, such as digital educational platforms and resources, to extend and to enrich the
experience of the subject in question. Children are encouraged in dance class to use digital environments, using an
interactive screen and tablets, in order to take part in interactive activities that stimulate the development of emotional
intelligence. Thus, an interdisciplinary perspective is promoted between Artistic Education (Creative Dance) and other
curricular components (Portuguese Language, Citizenship, Visual Arts and ICT - Information and Communication
Technologies). The inclusion of concepts such as emotion, reason and imagination, are present in the act of feeling, in the
act of creating, in the act of communicating (verbalising, the communicative sense of the act of dancing in line with
typographic content, images and drawings and other stimuli), in which the correspondence and ability to use digital
instruments and resources in the development of activities take place, in correspondence with dance. Acknowledge: The
