On the first fortnight of February 2009 the permanent team of this association held a four-day conference on education and joint development of projects with the participation of a Sociologist, specialist in community project planning. In this way, participants resumed the 2008 reflection forums to improve everyday practice and give projects professional status.

After receiving some training in planning methods, participants set the objectives of the three social work axis applying to each program, that is, education and training, arts and culture and sports and recreation. At this point, the leaders of each project exchanged ideas and opinions in order to maximize the interaction between different activities.

Besides, with the aim of promoting a more holistic approach for all participation areas, participants developed four dimensions for each program as follows: the technical dimension, that gives people tools for specialized training; the group dimension, that provides people with an opportunity to integrate and foster a strong sense of belonging; the community dimension, that promotes participation and commitment to our district; and the family dimension that is aimed at integrating parents and children into each activity.

Finally, the group established rates to evaluate the effects of each project and created tools to assess results in an accurate and permanent way. Working on every such aspect aims at designing new tools to improve the condition of the district.
