Objectives and Contextualisation
This module aims to offer the necessary tools to be able to analyze community situations and scenarios from research, as well as offer appropriate educational responses. In the proposal, special emphasis is placed on the knowledge of community education environments and the dimensions -social capital, social networks, parental training and peer relationships- that lead to the empowerment of groups in complex environments. Based on the use of theoretical, methodological and epistemological resources that favor the study and analysis of socio-educational intervention in community contexts, the module allows innovation in the design, planning and development of socio-educational projects and programs. The following topics are addressed:
• Community education, social capital, social networks and empowerment;
• Childhood and adolescence at risk, protection systems, parental training, peer relationships.
