    Research team Intervention: Quality of Life and Social Inclusion (Deusto Intervention) has been recognised by the Basque Government as an A - excellent team for the three-year period 2016-2021 (IT-1220-19).
    Its research is oriented towards social impact, becoming a driver of transformation through the generation of scientific knowledge aimed at processes of intervention, support and empowerment of people to improve the quality of life and the participation of all of them in the construction of active citizenship. Since its creation in 2010, the team has focused on situations of vulnerability due to a variety of factors (gender, age, origin, disability, poverty, health, school failure...) based on the principles of Applied Research, Research-Action and Participation.

    - Design and development of evaluation tools and materials for socio-educational intervention in quality of life
    - Qualitative studies to understand the experiences, expectations and challenges of people in different situations of vulnerability.

    Intervention:

    - Development and implementation of socio-educational intervention programmes: preventive and community intervention
    - Good practices in the promotion of well-being and inclusion: community intervention, networking, citizen participation, occupational and labour market integration or access to social rights
    - Evaluation of intervention programmes

    Transfer:

    - Support and training of various social actors: public administrations, professionals and citizens
