Dados de Emociones. El juego como una experiencia extensionista

Abstract

This article addresses the experiences of the outreach team with the outreach project La palabra también Golpea#PongámoslePunto, of the Universidad Nacional de Río Negro in connection with the Zonal Hospital Dr. Ramón Carrillo. The objective is to raise awareness about the effects that daily violence has on the health of the community. Based on the outreach experience in secondary schools, the project proposed to raise awareness in primary schools in Bariloche. It was shown that school is a key resource to positively influence the violent behavior of students, since it acts in the affective management of children and, in addition, in their families. Since emotional education prevents violence, the outreach team developed Dados de Emociones, a game whose main objective is to help children express their emotions and make situations of violence visible. The Convention on the Rights of the Child considers play as a child’s essential right, being a fundamental need for their physical, social and emotional development. Play allows children to work on their emotions by relating to them and, in turn, to their environment. Dados de Emociones is a transversal project that links health centers, children with their families, the educational community and the university, from the perspective of critical outreach. This work presents the experiences gained through Dados de Emociones.
