We present two pedagogical experiences carried out between 2013-2015 in Buenos Aires City by our team, a group of volunteers and other teachers that support street children in their learning processes. Here the expression street population refers to a way in which many of the families talk about themselves (personas y familias en situación de calle).Our overall methodological framework was originally based in collaborative educational ethnography and interactional sociolinguistics (Heras, 2014; Rockwell, 1987; Hymes, 1974; 1996). For the analysis presented here our goal was to identify what kinds of learning opportunities for narrative accounts, and what kinds of narratives, become visible when analyzing multi-mediated interactions (i.e., mediated through oral exchange, visual arts, photography, video and written text).
