O método preventivo na ação de Dom Bosco em comparação com as proteções sociais da lei orgânica da assistência social - LOAS

Abstract

The present research aims to reflect on and deepen the study of the life and work of Don Bosco, exploring his efforts with children, adolescents, and young people in situations of vulnerability through his preventive method and comparing it with the social protections established by the Organic Law of Social Assistance (LOAS). The objective is to analyze how the principles of prevention and moral formation present in Don Bosco's methodology align with the goals of modern social assistance, addressing issues of social risk and the (re)occurrence of vulnerabilities. The hypothesis is that overcoming situations of risk and social vulnerability among young people in Don Bosco's preventive method is related to the social protections provided by LOAS. The adopted methodology includes a bibliographic and documentary analysis, structured into three chapters: the foundations of Don Bosco's preventive method; the objectives and social protections of LOAS; and, finally, the relationship between Don Bosco¿s work and the social protections offered by LOAS, investigating its successes, limitations, and contributions to social protection and inclusion, as well as its capacity to promote broader and more equitable social transformation
