This study was aimed at socializing values and coexistence from an action research from a participatory and dialectical approach and uses the familiar debate, an innovative tool whose aims are to promote reflection and domestic dialogue and involve families in the analysis and transformation of reality. This strategy encourages debate and invites us to think about the values present in the family, collects information from different members of the family unit and in turn, raises awareness of the issues. A total of 492 families with at least one child between 7 and 16 years, participated in this study. The results highlight the potential of the instrument as a facilitator resource positive identification of actual or potential problems and elements and dynamics; and its usefulness to involve the family and the community in the analysis and formulation of action lines for processing. Moreover, the results allow the formulation of Community action lines which foster the building of a positive coexistence.
