The value of the artistic discipline of the social clown from its political, anthropological and social function, has been studied in recent years (Domínguez, 2015; Fo, 2008; Rico-Medina, 2015), but the same is not true for the training of the socio-educational clown and their impact on society (Ros-Clemente, 2015b). As a result, this study aims to delve into this mode of clowning and uncover the capabilities and possibilities that this discipline has as an educational tool. The research focuses on a case study, where the case is a group of clowns from the Basque Country named Takolo, Pirritx, Porrotx and Marimotots. The instruments used consist of individual interviews with each of the participants, a focus group with all of them and finally, documentary analysis of their materials and artistic productions. The categorical system resulting from the analytical procedure has helped to reveal that the clowns transmit universal values such as respect, equality and solidarity, among others, and that they do so through a minority language, thereby promoting its use. The paper concludes by stating the characteristics of the model of intervention, which is based on the principles of inclusive education developed by the group of clowns
