Research and Learning Communities (ReLeCo)

The complex social and cultural dynamics and transformations resulting from the contemporary world, in terms of organization, conditions and values, impose the need to (re)create processes of social interaction, increasing the demand for renewed dialogical means of intercomprehension, which contribute to the construction of a culture of democracy, citizenship and peace, as well as harmonious social development.

It is from these demanding contexts that ReLeCo proposes to contribute, in the epistemological, methodological and praxeological fields, to the affirmation of school-social mediation as a major force for training, prevention, intervention and social and educational transformation, based on the following objectives:

  1. To develop a theoretical-conceptual and empirical understanding of social mediation.
  2. To generate knowledge about mediation as a methodology for socio-educational intervention in its various dimensions, dynamics and typologies.
  3. To develop interdisciplinary studies on mediation and other thematic areas, such as: education, justice, inclusion, interculturality, peace studies, peace education, education for citizenship.
  4. To promote the exchange of knowledge and experiences between researchers and master's, doctoral and post-doctoral students.
  5. To support social mediation projects in an action-research-action logic.
