- Abstract
This paper presents the results of a qualitative evaluation of the promotional component of Skills for Life Program of JUNAEB, from the perspective of its participants and professionals. Semi structured interviews and focus groups were conducted with 51 people. The results show a high estimation of the program by its participants, identifying positive changes in interactions at school, skill development and a better school atmosphere. Professionals expressed a more critical point of view about promotional interventions and their positive effects. It is concluded that the program is a resource that supports high vulnerability schools, that contributes to the "relational repair" of school actors, and encourages positive interactions and psychosocial wellbeing in educational communities with high demand.
