Urban & Social Inclusion

A highly integrated socio-educational initiative funded under the National Program for Inclusion and Poverty Fight 2021-2027 (Priority 2 FSE+ "Child Guarantee").

Key goals include countering educational poverty, tracking school dropouts, improving access to socio-health services, and establishing stable inter-city governance.

Methodology: Multi-stakeholder participatory research, specialized multi-professional teams (psychologists, social workers, anthropologists, sociologists), community-based educational and creative labs, and localized transit monitoring.
