Abstract

This work refers to the articulation between the ongoing research project: "Assisted interventions with animals." and the University Extension project: "Recognize us, respect us, transform us", in order to make the reconnection to the school after the ASPO arranged by the authorities by the COVID-19 pandemic, in Primary No. 7 of La Plata,  when the building conditions of the school prevented the return to the classrooms in person.

 An activity is then proposed by an interdisciplinary group, which includes animal-assisted education interventions (IEAA), coordinated with activities of the teachers of the school, and yoga in the facilities of the Hippodrome of La Plata. The activities were developed from June 2021 to November 2021. Animal-assisted education EAA). It has academic objectives for humans and animals are part of the didactic sequence; in this framework, the framing of emotional security and motivation provided by the work of interventions to promote an area of learning is fundamental.
