Seminar details

Due to history, education and political situations, we find that social professions in Europe are developing along different lines, on one hand towards standardization and on the other hand towards diversification. Both “Social Worker” and “Social Pedagogue” (and similar terms) stand for clearly distinguished professions in many European countries, and they also represent different theoretical traditions in the background of both professions. Both professions and traditions are today challenging each other in many respects, and they have much to contribute to each other.

In FESET, we are engaged in promoting the social pedagogical approaches, using “social pedagogy”, “social education” or “socio-educational care-work” – done by social pedagogues, social educators, socio-educational care-workers or even social workers – which gives a specific additional gain to social intervention.

Our aim in the seminar is to explore this specificity. We want to clarify the “social pedagogical approaches in the field of social professions”. To initiate this debate, we raise three questions as incentives:

   1. What is the 'social' aspect in the social pedagogical intervention? What is the difference between school pedagogy and education, family pedagogy and education … and what we call social pedagogy or social education?

   2. What is the 'pedagogical' aspect in social professions? What is the educational dimension of social intervention, in some countries expressed in a particular profession, in others included under a common roof called “social work”?

   3. In the Bologna process, how do our universities deal with the polarity between standardization and diversification? Some countries unified the curricula of social work and social education, while others created new specific social-pedagogical curricula on Bachelor, Master and even PhD level …
