The main objective of this paper is to measure the socio-educational impact of the UNARED: Creative Connections for the training of professionals in Art and Art teachers, specifically in the Supervised Professional Practice and Teaching Practices of students of the Centro de Investigación, Docencia y Extensión Artística -CIDEA- of the National University of Costa Rica. For this purpose, it is considered essential first, to establish the basis from which the interdisciplinary research processes in Arts are founded. CIDEA has defined this as a strategic objective for the period 2010-2014. This RED (WEB) of interdisciplinary work has been established from a vision of sustainable human development, the complexity assigned to Education, with a methodology based on Chaos Theory, designed specifically for this process with a humanistic vision of education, such as it is suggested by the Pedagogical Model of the National University of Costa Rica. Its foundation is the Interdisciplinary methodology, where students and teachers in Art and Art Education have built and implemented interdisciplinary processes together with mental health specialists of the National Hospital System, assigned to the Caja Costarricense del Seguro Social -CCSS- (Savings bank of the Welfare State), in order to analyze the feasibility of joint work between the Arts and Mental Health of Costa Rica and thus to improve the citizens’ quality of life.
