the empowerment of teenagers, especially those who experience social exclusion or do not find themselves among their peers within the walls of elementary school Research shows that artistic teenagers are a vulnerable group, exposed to social exclusion Challenging tasks outside of school could activate their creativity, intelligence, and enhance positive self-image in dealing with

Identity creation theories were used to analyze the impact of such learning on participants The study demonstrates that teenagers who do not fit into the social environment of elementary schools, can
