At Contigo Soy we aim to enrich the lives of new generations through the transformative power of art. We share art with children and young people as a way to nourish their minds, release emotions, translate and capture their ideas on a physical medium.

We believe that by fostering their creativity and artistic expression, we are helping to develop well-rounded individuals, confident in themselves and prepared to face the challenges of the future. Inviting young people to explore art is not only an investment in their future, but in the future of our entire society.

Promoting art in children and young people is an investment in their future

Art has been a fundamental part of humanity since time immemorial. Throughout the centuries, artistic expressions have allowed people to communicate their thoughts, emotions and visions of the world. Today, in an increasingly accelerated and digitalized world, promoting art in children and young people becomes not only a way to keep this tradition alive, but a powerful tool for their integral development. At Contigo Soy, we firmly believe in the importance of art in the formation of new generations.

Here's why.

1. Development of Cognitive and Creative Skills

Art fosters critical thinking and creativity, essential skills in modern life. When children and young people engage in artistic activities, whether painting, sculpting, writing or acting, they are exercising their brains in unique ways. These activities not only improve their ability to solve problems and think outside the box, but also strengthen basic skills such as concentration, memory and observation.

2. Promoting Expression and Self-Esteem

Art offers children and young people a safe platform to express their thoughts and feelings. In a world where social pressure and expectations can be overwhelming, having a space to communicate their emotions without judgement is invaluable. By seeing their ideas come to life through their creations, young people develop a sense of achievement and self-esteem that empowers them and motivates them to continue exploring their talents.

3. Social and Cultural Development

Art activities often require collaboration and teamwork. Participating in a play, band, or community mural teaches young people to work together, respect different points of view, and build something meaningful collectively. Additionally, art exposes children and youth to diverse cultures and ways of life, promoting empathy and a greater understanding of the world around them.

4. Mental Health and Wellbeing

Art is a powerful tool for emotional well-being. Creating art can be therapeutic, helping children and young people process difficult emotions and reduce stress. In times of crisis or uncertainty, art provides an outlet and a way to find meaning and purpose. Encouraging art in schools and at home can be an effective strategy to support young people’s mental health.

5. Preparing for the Future

Creative industries are booming, and artistic skills are increasingly valued in the job market. From graphic design to animation, architecture and advertising, creativity is a key resource in a wide range of professions. Encouraging art from an early age prepares children and young people not only for careers in the artistic field, but for any profession that requires innovative thinking and creative problem solving.

6. Personal Enrichment and Pleasure

Beyond the tangible benefits and skills, art enriches life. Experiencing the beauty and pleasure of creating something new is a source of joy and personal satisfaction. Art allows children and young people to explore their identity, dream without limits, and connect with what they are passionate about.

Inviting young people to explore art is not only an investment in their future, but in the future of our entire society.
