Abstract

This chapter includes a summary of the evaluation of the Family Support Program for Educational Success (PSAFEE in Spanish), which was operational between 2013 and 2020 and involved the participation of more than 10,000 people in neighborhoods with populations at risk in thirteen Spanish cities. The program aimed to promote the increase and quality of family participation processes in the schools of their neighborhood, often hindered by cultural, economic, social, and gender-related factors. The program was carried out through the application of various cycles of participatory action research, and its evaluation was conducted using a mixed quantitative and qualitative methodology. The evaluation results have allowed the identification and understanding of factors that facilitate or hinder participation, adherence, and educational transformation in the program's application contexts. The analysis concludes with the need for community education to improve family involvement and the challenge of promoting such interventions in a post-pandemic context.
