Corazón Niño, is an initiative dedicated to keeping alive the essence of the inner child, creating spaces for learning, connection and development of internal virtues that they need as Integral Human Beings.
We embark on a journey to rescue the magic and purity of children from 7 to 12 years old, who are currently disconnected and submerged in the digital world, which somehow leads them to disconnect with themselves and with the environment. .
Through a series of carefully designed workshops and following the ‘LOVE’ methodology, we seek to preserve the energy and joy of childhood while promoting comprehensive development in the new generations.
What is HEART CHILD about?
Address Urgent Need: In a world defined by materialism, fostering emotional intelligence has become increasingly vital. Especially in today’s digital age, children often lack the tools to navigate their emotions amid a barrage of conflicting messages. The Corazón Niño Project addresses this gap by providing a haven for children to express themselves artistically, thus fostering emotional intelligence.
Creative Expression as a Way: Art is a powerful vehicle to transmit and understand emotions. Through creative expression, children are able to communicate and release emotions that might otherwise be difficult to put into words. The artistic journey not only promotes self-awareness, but also enhances their connection to the world around them.
Our Methodology: Through workshops led by holistic health professionals, we provide a space for children to explore art forms such as music, dance, and painting. These workshops serve as anchors for the Heart Values, a set of attributes such as Gratitude, Compassion, Forgiveness, Humility, Understanding, Courage, and Loyalty. By channeling their emotions and embracing self-awareness, we guide them towards self-love and autonomy.
Empowering Future Leaders: Our effort extends beyond artistic expression. Our goal is to build confidence, stimulate creativity, and nurture the imagination as problem-solving tools. Through the amalgamation of art and emotional intelligence, we empower children to believe in themselves, regardless of their circumstances.
Impact and Scope: The Corazón Niño Project focuses on children ages 7 to 12 from economically disadvantaged communities in the San Salvador metropolitan area. These immersive sessions take place at Casa AmaNaSer, providing a safe haven for creative exploration.
Holistic Workshops Curriculum:
- Art and Exploration: Encourage creativity through various artistic mediums.
- Music and Rhythm: Encourage natural flow and improvisation through music.
- Dance and Nature: Harness the power of movement to release emotional energy.
- Calm and Meditation Tools: Instill early habits of reflection and intuition.
Achieving Transformation: Each workshop lasts three hours, and the Corazón Niño program covers a total of 12 sessions for each group of children (with a duration of three months). With a maximum of 20 children per group, we aim to impact 60+ children and 300+ individuals, including families, annually.
