Abstract
In this article we explore the development and initial results of an innovative methodology that uses metaphor and the participants’ sense of humour to create a narrative space in the context of university training in social com
-petence that facilitates the learning process.
The experience is based on linking a metaphorical scenario to the academic scenario and the participants’ future professional scenario.
The article describes the component parts of the metaphor used (a birthday party) and its links with the skills worked on in the course
on Social Skills at the Pere Tarrés Faculty of Social Education and Social Work (URL). The positive evaluation by teachers and students indicates that this is a worthwhile educational practice whose contents can be exported to
other learning contexts.
