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.
1. Social pedagogy and community education
2. Research in community education
3. Social capital and socio-educational networks

6. Specific problems of young people under guardianship
7. Transition to independent life for young people in care
8. Empowerment projects with young people in care
9. Child and youth participation in the community
10. Families, leisure time and social capital
11. Peer relationship, community innovation processes

The evaluation of the module will be carried out through the activities indicated. The results of the assessment will be delivered within a maximum of 20 working days of the academic calendar.
The final mark will be the weighted average of the planned activities. To be able to apply this criterion, it will be necessary to obtain at least a 4 in all activities, those carried out during the development of the module and in the memory/final work of the module.
Class attendance is mandatory. In order to obtain a positive final evaluation, the student must have attended a minimum of 80% of the classes.
The test review procedure will be carried out individually
The magazine article, as the final work of the module, will be delivered two weeks after the end of classes.
If you wish to opt for the single assessment, the student will deliver all the work requested by the teaching staff in the development of the module and will have to pass an oral content test.
Recovery, if necessary, involves repeating the work or suspended tests.
Plagiarism or copying of submitted works means automatically suspending the module.
<spanclass="ryNqvb">To pass this subject, students must demonstrate good general communication skills, both orally and in writing, and a good command of the vehicular language(s): Catalan or Spanish. In all activities (individual and in groups), linguistic correctness, writing and formal aspects of presentation will therefore be taken into account. Students must be able to express themselves fluently and correctly and must show a high degree of understanding of academic texts. An activity may be returned (not assessed) or suspended if the teacher considers that it does not meet these requirements.
The use of generative artificial intelligence is not permitted at an individual level in the development of classes unless requested by the teaching staff or in collective activities.
