Abstract

Alzheimer´s is a disease characterized by memory loss and worsens over time according to Alzheimer’s Association, in the paragraph: “Latinos at risk” it says: “Latinos are approximately more likely to suffer from Alzheimer’s and other dementias than other elderly people…”. The present work has been developed with the objective of generating a proposal of well-being in children and older adults from the benefits of music, body expression and creative processes such as brain gymnastics to enhance memory and prevent Alzheimer’s.

     Using an action research and research methodology based on experience, it has been achieved in the older adults of the mental health workshop of the IESS-Manta and in the children of the “Vida 9” Art School, to establish a sequence of exercises based on music, body expression and creative process enhancing an affective emotional memory, guaranteeing brain gymnastics, and meaningful and cooperative learning in interpersonal, intergenerational and inclusive relationships. Therefore, this process is proposed as a space for well-being in classrooms from childhood without being a strict academic teaching of art.
