During the process, we have used various techniques for gathering information, including the analysis of the collected documentation; interviews and communicative groups, which have provided the opportunity to collect the voices of the agents involved in the Bermeo self-organized youth
spaces. This research has led us to establish certain theoretical bases that depart from the youth socialization and the importance of the educating society up to the task of these in the
area of these spaces. Through presenting the case study conducted in Bermeo we will demonstrate the acquired results, finally enabling us to draw the main conclusions obtained.
