We analyzed the photometry of 20038 cool stars from campaigns 12, 13, 14 and 15 of the K2 mission in order to detect, characterize and validate new planetary candidates transiting low-mass stars. We present a catalogue of 25 new periodic transit-like signals in 22 stars, of which we computed the parameters of the stellar host for 19 stars and the planetary parameters for 21 signals. We acquired speckle and AO images, and also inspected archival Pan-STARRS1 images and Gaia DR2 to discard the presence of close stellar companions and to check possible transit dilutions due to nearby stars. False positive probability (FPP) was computed for 22 signals, obtaining FPP < $1%$ for 17. We consider 12 of them as statistically validated planets. One signal is a false positive and the remaining 12 signals are considered as planet candidates. 20 signals have orbital period P$_{rm orb} < 10$ $d$, 2 have $10$ $d < $ P$_{rm orb} < 20$ $d$ and 3 have P$_{rm orb} > 20$ $d$. Regarding radii, 11 candidates and validated planets have computed radius R $<2 R_{oplus}$, 9 have $2 R_{oplus} <$ R $< 4 R_{oplus}$, and 1 has R $>4 R_{oplus}$. 2 validated planets and 2 candidates are located in moderately bright stars ($m_{kep}<13$) and 2 validated planets and 3 candidates have derived orbital radius within the habitable zone according to optimistic models. Of special interest is the validated warm super-Earth EPIC 248616368b (T$rm_{eq} = 318^{+24}_{-43} , K$, S$_{rm p} = 1.7pm 0.2 , S_{oplus}$, R$_{rm p} = 2.1pm 0.1 , R_{oplus} $), located in a m$rm_{kep}$ = 14.13 star.
