This paper presents how Successful Educational Actions (SEA) and other educational experiences impact the trajectories of social inclusion/exclusion of individuals from vulnerable groups, such as immigrants and ethnic minorities. Research identified educational strategies that lead to social exclusion and those that overcome it. Data collection was carried out through quantitative and qualitative methods carried out in six European countries. Both were aimed at analyzing in which ways the SEA previously identified in INCLUD-ED have helped people to overcome their exclusion and to identify other potential successful actions. Data analysis showed that specific educational strategies are encouraging migrant people and cultural minorities, like Roma, to access or going back to educational system. The inclusion of cultural role models in spaces of dialogic participation and the inclusion of their voices in decision making processes emerge as transformative strategies. In doing so, active participation of these groups and motivation to improve other facets of their lives are promoted. Their narratives show high expectations, solidarity and mutual support as key elements to their social inclusion. The implementation of SEAs constitutes alternatives of inclusion for migrants and cultural minorities, who have been traditionally marginalized. Their extension into different social spaces emerges as a powerful strategy to foster social justice.
