The artistic-cultural and sports extension in the comprehensive training of university students

Abstract

This article highlights the importance of the cultural and sports activities of the Carazo Regional Multidisciplinary Faculty (FAREM-Carazo) in the framework of university extension as one of the substantive functions of our university. The objectives that guided this process were: 1) To diagnose the current state of the artistic and sports disciplines of the FAREM-Carazo and 2) To reflect on the contribution of these activities in the integral formation of the students of the FAREMCarazo. The documentary review and the interview with the artists, athletes and coaches have been the favorable method and technique to compile the information, meanwhile the triangulation of data by informants helped to validate the contributions of the interviewees.

The results reflect an active participation of the student body, despite the fact that there are not optimal facilities or resources for the practice of artistic and sports disciplines. In addition, students recognize that belonging to an artistic or sports discipline gives them a certain status of recognition in their community, the faculty and in their particular group, in addition to providing them with the ability to work as a team, stage safety and leadership. It can be concluded that cultural and sports activities play a preponderant role in the integral development of the student body and of society as a whole, especially of the less favored sectors, preserving, disseminating and making cultural and recreational goods and services available to them. that are born from the same society.
