Its social and educational impact. Rev. Mendive [online]. 2022, vol.20, n.2, pp. 478-493. Epub June 04, 2022. ISSN 1815-7696.
The wide experience of community work in Cuba undoubtedly reveals a particular way of conceiving the culture, managing it and implementing it for the sake of social development. An example of that are the results obtained during the last decades by sociocultural community projects throughout the country. The reality established by the global pandemic state since March 2020 has brought important consequences for life of all Cubans, including community projects. The present article is precisely about the virtual art workshops "Illustrating dreams from home", an initiative promoted by the project CreArte: Crecer con las Artes during the social isolation provoked by Covid - 19. Based on an interpretive- descriptive methodology of basically qualitative character, the foundations of the conception assumed for the virtual workshops as well as the main coordinates followed for managing the processes carried out; on the other hand, the main results derived from the experience as well as the social impact for direct and indirect project benefactors, are presented.
