Class School, Family, and Community: Dynamics of Interaction and Cooperation Strategies

This course proposes an in-depth reflection on the complex relationships between school, family, and community, approaching them from an integrated perspective that combines theoretical foundations with analysis of intervention practices. It aims to promote understanding of how territorial contexts shape educational opportunities, delving deeper into the processes of social exclusion and inclusion, as well as the evolution of community-based educational models, drawing on references from the Portuguese context. Thus, the course enables the development of conceptual and operational tools for critical and informed intervention in this field.
