abstract: 'Minors who migrate alone must make a complex transition to independent

  life with a limited support network, low educational levels and job

  qualifications, placing them in a situation of special vulnerability to

  social exclusion. Faced with this situation, Social Work cannot stay

  quiet and must be oriented towards emancipatory interventions, in this

  case, access to equitable and quality education becomes crucial. This

  study aims to analyze the impact of the implementation of an educational

  strategy called Extended Learning Time with this group of minors,

  focusing on the acquisition of instrumental learning, the degree of

  employability and the social inclusion of the group. The biographical

  method and a communicative methodology with a markedly qualitative

  approach have been used. The sample is made up of research staff, heads

  of centers and programs, as well as former youths. The results show

  various improvements in academic performance, an increase in well-being

  and more respectful and supportive interactions. In addition,

  improvements are detected at a professional level by helping to recover

  its transformative potential. Therefore, these interventions based on

  dialogic learning become a powerful tool for overcoming situations of

  socio-educational disadvantage in Social Work.'
