Socio-educational model for community development and reorientation of training processes in marginalized social nuclei. Zona prox. [online]. 2018, n.29, pp.68-81.

In this paper, we present some arguments in favor of a social pedagogy based on the capabilities approach and its potential for development. We promote a social pedagogy that educates for the full exercise of freedom, and offer a definition of social pedagogy. In addition, we summarize the capabilities approach as developed by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum. We describe in detail the ten core capabilities defined by Nussbaum. Next, we briefly describe a socio-educational model designed by the University Center for Social Participation and the research group "Social Pedagogy and Educational Orientation" of the Universidad Autonoma de Puebla, Mexico. We emphasize the direct relationship between this socio-educational model and the capabilities approach. Finally, we conclude that it is possible, through social pedagogy, to build bridges between the "capabilities approach" and the impoverished social contexts.
