Abstract (English):	The teaching innovation project Cartographies (PID 001-23/24) has been developed between 2018 and 2024, with various degree programs at Nebrija University. Its main goal was to promote self-awareness and to emphasize the importance of mental health and emotional well-being through the use of art. The methodological design was qualitative and it guided the creative process of student and teacher alike through ethnography as well as action research. Likewise, the theoretical-conceptual triangle created between the concepts of "Habitus" (Bourdieu, 2008), the "Theory of the Self" (James, 1994) and the "Theory of Gender Performativity" (Butler, 2007) formed the backbone of the research question connected to the main objective of this innovation project. The methodology supported the creation of narratives that empowered and promoted the students' self-worth and ability, as well as the self-discovery of their bodies as a source of knowledge and experience. The observation of the process followed and the instruments used demonstrated the importance of employing learning architectures that invite us to explore the territory of existence in order to increase students' self-esteem and promote social transformation. From this teaching innovation project, it is concluded that tracing the map of reality through the arts helped students to situate their gaze and integrate thought, feeling and action in order to question by means of their own curiosity, the frames of reference that make up the physical maps and also the personal ones. The innovation of this project lies in placing mental health care at the centre of the pedagogical processes as a trigger to favour self-knowledge in relation to multidisciplinary groups using the Cartographies device from an artistic perspectiv.

Abstract (Spanish):	El proyecto de innovación docente Cartografías (PID 001-23/24) se desarrolló entre 2018 y 2024 con diferentes Grados de la Universidad Nebrija. Su objetivo principal fue favorecer el autoconocimiento y el cuidado de la salud mental del alumnado a través del arte. El diseño metodológico de corte cualitativo guio el proceso creador de alumnado y profesorado a través de la Etnografía y la Investigación-Acción. Asimismo, el triángulo teórico-conceptual conformado por el concepto de "Habitus" (Bourdieu, 2008), la "Teoría del yo" (James, 1994) y la "Performatividad de género" (Butler, 2007) vertebró la pregunta de investigación conectada con el objetivo principal del proyecto. Esta metodología apoyó la creación de relatos que empoderaron y promovieron la valía y capacidad del alumnado, así como el descubrimiento de su cuerpo como fuente de conocimiento y experiencia. La observación del proceso seguido y los instrumentos de investigación empleados evidenciaron la importancia de proyectar arquitecturas de aprendizaje que inviten a explorar el territorio de la existencia para incrementar la autoestima y promover la transformación social. De este proyecto de innovación docente se concluye que trazar el mapa de realidad a través de las artes ayudó al alumnado a situar su mirada e integrar pensamiento, sentimiento y acción para cuestionar, desde la curiosidad, los marcos de referencia que conforman los mapas físicos y, también, los personales. Su innovación radica en poner el cuidado de la salud mental en el centro de los procesos pedagógicos, como detonante para favorecer el conocimiento personal en relación con grupos multidisciplinares usando el dispositivo de las Cartografías desde una perspectiva artística.
