Sin embargo, las instituciones educativas no priorizan su entrenamiento con enfoques basados en evidencia que<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> transforman <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">al Ser. Este estudio de caso documenta la facilitaci\u00f3n de habilidades blandas como la empat\u00eda, la resiliencia y la compasi\u00f3n (entre otras) mediante un Gimnasio Creativo (GC) ofrecido en una instituci\u00f3n educativa dominicana. A trav\u00e9s de una metodolog\u00eda participativa y biopsicosocial en desarrollo desde 2017, que integra danza, respiraci\u00f3n consciente y dibujo, el GC ense\u00f1a a &#8220;hacer sentido&#8221; con el cuerpo integrando conocimientos bio (anatom\u00eda, fisiolog\u00eda, neurociencia), psico (inteligencia emocional) y sociales (relaci\u00f3n con el entorno). Documentando el proceso desde oto\u00f1o 2025 mediante entrevistas y reflexiones visuales de cada participante, los hallazgos iniciales evidencian una regulaci\u00f3n en los niveles de estr\u00e9s y ansiedad, el desarrollo del autoconocimiento, la autocompasi\u00f3n y una transformaci\u00f3n del di\u00e1logo interno. La divulgaci\u00f3n de los Gimnasios Creativos contribuir\u00eda a mitigar la crisis de salud mental en la educaci\u00f3n superior dominicana, con la posibilidad de expandir a Redes Globales la facilitaci\u00f3n de habilidades blandas que beneficie tanto al estudiantado como al prestigio de las instituciones de educaci\u00f3n superior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soft skills are increasingly promoted as essential competencies for the 21st century. However, educational institutions do not prioritize training them through evidence-based approaches that transform the Self. This case study documents the facilitation of soft skills such as empathy, resilience, and compassion (among others) through a Creative Gym (Gimnasio Creativo, GC) offered at a Dominican educational institution. Through a participatory, biopsychosocial methodology developed since 2017 \u2014 which integrates dance, mindful breathing, and drawing \u2014 the GC teaches &#8220;making sense&#8221; with the body by integrating bio (anatomy, physiology, neuroscience), psycho (emotional intelligence), and social (relationship with one&#8217;s environment) knowledge. Documenting the process since fall 2025 through interviews and visual reflections from each participant, initial findings show regulation of stress and anxiety levels, the development of self-knowledge and self-compassion, and a transformation of inner dialogue. Wider dissemination of Creative Gyms could help mitigate the mental health crisis in Dominican higher education, with the possibility of expanding the facilitation of soft skills into Global Networks in ways that benefit both the student body and the standing of higher education institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Session type<\/strong>: Case study<\/p>\n<h2>Presenters<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ana Mar\u00eda L\u00f3pez, <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Directora Creativa, Mueve Flore Estudio (Creative Director)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i>Time listed is Dominican Republic time.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Las habilidades blandas (o soft skills) son cada vez m\u00e1s promovidas como competencias esenciales para el siglo XXI.
