The children’s peace project: Service-learning and art education

Presented by: UNISERVITATE

This paper presents the case of a service-learning art experience in an after-school housing development program. Beginning with a dialogue concerning peace and how it can become part of their world, children and pre-service teachers explored and connected the idea of peace through symbols, metaphor and idealism in works of art. A critical and reflective account of this experience demonstrates the ways that young children and pre-service art teachers can benefit from meaningful and socially relevant service-learning activities.


Este artículo presenta el caso de una experiencia artística de aprendizaje-servicio en un programa de desarrollo de viviendas después de la escuela. A partir de un diálogo sobre la paz y cómo puede convertirse en parte de su mundo, los niños y los profesores en formación exploraron y conectaron la idea de la paz a través de símbolos, metáforas e idealismo en las obras de arte. Un relato crítico y reflexivo de esta experiencia demuestra las formas en que los niños pequeños y los profesores de arte en formación pueden beneficiarse de actividades de aprendizaje-servicio significativas y socialmente relevantes.
