This research project has emerged from the necessity to explore educational experiences that integrate the arts into the primary education curriculum, and how teachers perceive and implement this teaching-learning approach to create learning situations that enhance students' engagement in their learning process. The project was conducted in social and cultural organizations and schools located in Pichincha and Galapagos. The purpose is to describe the didactic process of educational interventions that integrate the arts into the school curriculum using ICT. This study follows an exploratory-descriptive approach, employing a qualitative ethnographic methodology. Data collection involved techniques such as documentary analysis and semi-structured interviews conducted across 14 social-cultural organizations and six schools (2 public schools, 2 private state-funded schools, 1 municipal school, and 1 private school). The findings highlighted key aspects in designing educational interventions from five categories related to the educational experience, the collaboration between teachers and specialists-art mediators, factors that influence the development of these experiences, benefits and outcomes, and the integration of ICT within educational experiences that integrate the arts.
