| Resumo: | As of 2008, the complexity of the urban and social themes in Ciudad Juarez was exacerbated as a result of the criminal incidence faced by the community. Fear motivated the abandonment of public spaces by inhabitants throughout the length and breadth of the city. However, this unfortunate circumstance opened the opportunity to implement a model of social intervention that, like many, is only analyzed in the theory but is absent in the practice. Many attempts have been made, but few practices aimed at strengthening the community’s sense of continuity and which, in turn, have shown success. This success is not only because of the results but is also due to the creation of a network for students and teachers in one Higher Public Education Institution that had a positive impact on the community of La Chaven?a. The experience initiated at La Chaven?a community has been replicated in conflicting social contexts, thereby, validating the construction of socially sustainable communities. |
