On April 30th, Irene Salvo Agoglia, principal investigator of the AdopARTE project and Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow at AFIN Barcelona (Autonomous University of Barcelona), was invited to participate in the conference titled “Adoption: keys for socio-educational support,” organized by the teaching team of the course Socio-educational action in situations of social inclusion and exclusion, from the Degree in Social Education at the University of Barcelona.
The conference was part of the XII edition of the Socio-educational Action Days for Social Inclusion, supported by grants from the Faculty of Education. The event was structured around two round tables and brought together three expert voices connected to the field of adoption from lived experience, research, and intervention: Laia Muñoz, adopted person and author of the blog Adoption and Origins; Irene Salvo Agoglia, researcher specialized in participatory methodologies with adopted people; and Javier García Martínez, psychologist, social educator, and family mediator, expert in adoption and foster care.
The conference was a space for reflection on identity, origins, bonds, and the role of social education in adoption processes, with special attention to the voices of adopted people and participatory and community approaches.
