Abstract

An Active Participant Research project is presented that is based on the creation of Social networks to promote the participation of the community’s families and social agents in order to make educational actions and debate in municipalities more cohesive, as part of the ecological model. The family and school microsystems are linked with agents belonging to the mesosystem (neighbourhood, municipality, paediatrics, associative network, etc). The Network’s interest lies in being able to jointly construct axes to guide the educational action of families and institutions in consideration of all the points of view of the people belonging to the different systems.
The first results are shown of the coordination and work done in different Networks to show the strength of shared learning and the benefits gleaned from the ideas of the Network itself and between the different Networks.
