Abstract:
Access to learning is a crucial element in an inclusive learning city perspective. Homelessness is one of the most serious forms of exclusion. From the perspective of lifelong learning, a commitment is needed towards strengthening individual resources and, at the same time, recognising competences gained in all contexts, including the daily life of homeless people. In this regard, theoretical approaches to learning that are the result of experience are central. The article presents the results of research on the competences developed by homeless people, compared with the European LifeComp framework for personal, social and learning to learn key competence. From the self-evaluation of those who live on the street, dominance and self-care (self-regulation), adaptation (flexibility) and the management of interactions in an uncertain and often hostile context (communication and empathy) emerge.
