It is based on the assumption that the individuals who take on the role of social educators do not always feel prepared for a qualified performance with the beneficiaries of Social Assistance policies. It is based on the reflections of several thinkers, as well as on the assumptions of Socio-Historical theory. The intention is to offer social educators who work in a context of vulnerability and exclusion, a systematic reflection that can guide their practices from the perspective of technical competence, political commitment, and human sensitivity.
