la Strada come punto di partenza. Un modello interpretativo di intervento educativo per ragazzi di strada
Year: 1998
Type: article
Abstract: The author of the essay was in charge of a cooperative work society for minors, which was also operative in favour of street children in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. The model introduced in the essay takes into consideration four elements, essential in a methodology meant for children living in difficult situations i.e.: the street, the community, the needs and the project of life. The street is undestood as a place rich in meaning and as a useful laison to reach an environment more suitable for the educative action i.e. the community, which can be seen both as an experience of life together and as a natural place of growth (re-entrying one's family or joining a family-house). The third step consistes in the attention to the basic needs of the subject; the educator should not limit himself to welfare or philanthropic aspects; on the contrary, he must awaken deep-rooted motivations able to set up a project of life, which is an indispensable condition to structure truly educational interventions.
