Arte Pro empower groups in vulnerable situations through an aesthetic education that unites the realms of art, society, and mindfulness. Our program is tailored to the individual psychological needs of each child and brings out their potential through art and play. Our work is based on current scientific studies and the deep understanding that there is never a problematical child, there are only problematic circumstances. Musicians, visual artists, dancers, and theatre actors collaborate with neuroscientists, child development specialists, psychologists, and pedagogues to build a program empowering children from ages 3 to 17. According to Nobel Prize winner, PhD. James J. Heckman, cognitive abilities are important determinants of socioeconomic success. Other important determinants include socioemotional skills, physical and mental health, perseverance, attention, motivation, and self-confidence. Arte Pro's ludic approach to aesthetic practice and mindfulness provides tools for self-reflection and introspection, creating a space for personal dialogue and sensitivity. Arte Pro promotes self-reliance, self-respect, and respect for others, while deepening thinking skills, confidence and self-esteem. Arte Pro's vision is clear: to replace the traumas of their past with a brighter future.Through this initiative, society has a chance to improve children's academic performance and future progression, as well as contribute to reducing the risk of resorting to crime, thus changing itself for the better.
