Abstract

Introduction: This study analyses the collaboration of students from the University of Lleida in the school campaign of the performing arts festival Mil Maneres de Alcoletge, through didactic workshops given by students and supervised by the teaching staff. Methodology: The project focuses on the subject of Artistic Projects, integrating areas such as music, physical, visual and plastic education. The students designed and carried out artistic activities and creations based on creativity and expression, using expository sessions, workshops and group tutorials. Results: The experience allowed the Infant Education and Dual Degree Infant-Primary students to apply their competences in a practical and non-formal context, overcoming the complexity of adapting to a different space and audience than usual. Conclusions: The challenge of adapting to the festival context, as well as the need to develop creative skills in an unstructured environment such as the formal classroom, represented a significant experience for the students, which was expressed in their reflections.
