This paper proposes the design of an educational project for primary school teachers that are related to the theme of migration. The process of designing teaching material can be facilitated by becoming familiar with current works of art inspired by the subject of refugees. This knowledge is also important for initiating undergraduate education students to the process of analyzing and creating art projects for children. On the other hand, current art trends have the ability to highlight the situation of uprooted children living in conflict areas. This project is carried out with primary school children in the Faculty of Education of the University of La Laguna. In addition, the undergraduate students present activities at schools during their work placements. The theme of puppets has been selected for the youngest children following analysis of an activity carried out in refugee camps with Lebanese children. The conceptual framework focuses on the arts-based educational research method to study artists and performing arts from the perspective of social integration to foster communication through the universal codes of art.
