Art, psychology and curriculum. Notes for an extensionist cartography

Abstract

The article addresses the relationship between art, psychology and university education through community outreach programs. These programs, carried out by the Chair of Contemporary Psychological Systems in collaboration with Clinical Psychology, seek to strengthen the interaction between the academia and the community, integrating theory and practice in cultural and educational events. Panel discussions, theater plays, festivals and social network analysis stand out among the activities, all of which connected to topics such as citizenship, democracy and gender. These initiatives promote comprehensive education, add value to community outreach initiatives by university and enrich learning through practical experiences. This highlights the importance of inclusion, memory building and social dialogue, as well as the use of social networks as cultural devices. As a final reflection, we emphasize the elusive and transformational nature of university community outreach, which challenges preset structures and promotes meaningful learning through shared community experience.
