About the topic for this year
What does it mean to transgress?
How can social pedagogy practitioners support each other, be brave enough and develop their internal sense of power to make steps towards developing a professional practice that is feminist and anti-racist, that supports others to also connect with their internal power? How can social pedagogy practitioners support each other to take risks and face uncertainty, against the status-quo?
At the face-to-face conference in August, we heard how researchers from Denmark, Brazil, Scotland and England used bell hooks’ ideas around transgression to understand how social pedagogues work in their different national contexts. For the online forum, we want to reflect on their thinking and look at how this could benefit us as practitioners through creative and inclusive approaches. We’d love you to join us in doing this and bring your unique thoughts and experiences to the table.
Who is this online forum for?
All those interested in a social pedagogic approach to delivering care, education and health services, ranging from practitioners to policy makers, students, academics, artists, poets, musicians and other creatives.
You might be working in early childhood education and care, family support, youth work, foster care, social work, in day care services for older people, mental health services or residential childcare.
There is a place in social pedagogy for all of you! There is a place for transgression in all these areas, so we welcome your ideas!
