Abstract

Abstract: This paper, entitled "Analysis of the Impact of Theater on the Development of Soft Skills in Children of the Wawa Escena Group in the City of Loja," aims to evaluate how theatrical practice influences the strengthening of interpersonal and socio-emotional competencies in children. The theoretical framework explores the foundations of pedagogy and art theories, which support that theater is a fundamental tool for the development of soft skills and an agent of collective transformation. The methodology includes pre- and post-intervention surveys and field observations that measure the impact of theatrical activities, thus combining a mixed approach with quantitative and qualitative analysis structured in three phases: anticipation, construction, and consolidation. The results show significant improvements in communication, teamwork, leadership, empathy, and leadership skills, affirming that theater is a fascinating educational tool. It is evident that the implementation of theatrical activities through innovative methodologies can improve the contemporary needs of children.
