SANS, Isabel. The La Huella Farm-Home for children and adolescents: methodological fusion of radical involvement. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.1, pp.281-293. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.1511731062016.

The aim of the study was to consider the key elements of the success of the education system for children and adolescents in the La Huella home for street children in its first 25 years. The experience is an important reference point, and awareness of its characteristics can contribute to the generation of new practices with youth populations. Information materials produced by public institutions were collected and studied, a series semi-structured interviews were conducted and the central elements of the La Huella proposal were analyzed. The personal commitment of the educators and the way in which the experience was designed were key to its success. The project involved the combination of a family environment, community life, stable educational staff, a relationship with nature and education in domestic and agricultural work.

Keywords : Childhood; adolescence; street children; social education; communities.
