To this end, approximately 4,500 establishments were recorded and sampled proportionally by territories, involving the analysis of 50% of the offer with explicit educational objectives. This analysis considered the types of establishment, their activities, and their target audience, among other information. The results indicate that education in the arts field has a highly significant presence in non-formal education, with dance, music, and drama is the most important specialties. An analysis of the main characteristics of the leading establishments revealed that they show a high degree of variety.
