Design of Community Intervention Projects

N/A

Training for social and educative intervention requires a methodology based on participation and critical thinking. Therefore, the contribution of students in the learning process is essential as they are responsible for the production, management and communication of knowledge. This unity is linked to other disciplines and activities developed by students or organizations. The contents will be developed through theoretical and practical classes. The presence in classes and activities is essential in this methodology. The evaluation will respect the rules of ESEC, performing in one of two ways: by frequency evaluation or by exam. Final test: written test. Frequency assessment: production, presentation and defense in class of an intervention project (50% of the final mark) and its presentation as a final descriptive paper (50% of the final mark); group work students’ provision is differentiable.
