This document presents the final results of a research-action that was carried out in the municipality of Satevó Chihuahua with participation of educational interveners, researchers and young people from EMS. It narrates the experience built-in the course of two years, from an educational process where those involved could identify their social vulnerability condition, specific to the local, economic and cultural context. The document clarifies the theoretical and methodological notions that underpin a study of a transformative nature and highlights some features of the research-action that were taken as basis in this work. The results obtained in each stage and moments of the educational process are also presented. The earlier stage or of collective constructions contribution can mark guidelines for future intervention works and action-research.
