It combines working methods and dynamics:

• From the scope of social action
• From the educational field.

It transforms the traditional social actions of street teams (support, attention to basic needs, mediation) into adapted and accessible non-formal training spaces, which serve as a bridge to more stable formal education processes that lead to the educational and employment integration of homeless users.

• Eminently practical, experiential and dialogical methodology
• Individualized learning pace, adjusting to the individual circumstances of each participant
• Non-linear itineraries, irregular rhythms and drop-out and re-entry processes without penalty are contemplated, in accordance with the logic of inclusive educational support
• Safe, warm and horizontal classroom climate
• The teacher assumes the role of facilitator, mediator and co-learner, renouncing any leading or authoritarian attitude

A informal training program where, while providing other services, you provide homeless people with simple and engaging educational materials. In this initial contact, users experience educational materials with dynamic resources to help them pass the long hours of the day. It will be delivered by trainers from social organizations and accompanied by light social measures.

The objective of this first phase is to initiate an informal and non-threatening first approach to education while meeting basic needs (food, rest, hygiene, listening), generating initial bonds between teacher and student where, in accordance with the methodological axes, it is the student who autonomously develops the resources and the educational process that, at the same time, is useful for their daily lives.

This is an informal training with a trainer from the social entity with specific training who will join the street teams, meeting with the user to talk about the resources, and structure their learning a little.

The objective of this stage to establish a personalized tutoring process for users in street situations, promoting more effectively the development of educational skills through more structured informal training, adapted to the interests and abilities of the user, in coordination with their social care process that favors their access to Stage 3.

Once the student has managed to recover educational and social skills, they are guided to formal spaces (where they can also shower and groom) to receive training adapted to their level, short and with changing schedules carried out by adult education teachers and which will culminate in their integration into the regulated school.

This stage is designed in a way consistent with the curriculum of module 1 of Level I of Secondary Education for Adults (ESPA), but with a specific adaptation that answers to the needs, interests, and specific situations of homeless adults. It is comprised of didactic units articulated from practical, close, and useful learning situations, which connect with previous knowledge and with the daily reality of homeless people. This training process is carried out exclusively within social entities that work with homeless people, in order to create a realistic and accessible bridge between homelessness and access to formal training in Adult Education Centers (CEPA or their equivalent in the rest of the countries).
