Presentation :
Educ-Europe
Employers and training organisations from several countries, driven by a shared desire to promote social Educators as responsible players promoting personal development and a more just world, have pooled their resources to offer professional training based on interpersonal contact and intercultural openness. Training outside one’s own country and teaching focused on educational questions which are broadly international in scope will provide access to the bestpractices of a number of countries.
This approach was selected by the European
Commission and will begin in September 2007.
Three specific elements
to training
1 Training focused on international
issues. It will be available through
distance learning.
Some of the subjects are:
- Awareness of the social and ethical
implications of interventions.
- Markers for understanding European
social policies and the framework
for interventions.
- Working with families within the
framework of child and youth protection.
- Diversity of religions and beliefs and
the educational stakes of modern
multicultural societies.
2 Long-term training (at least three
months) in another country at an
institution which takes in troubled
people. Training in a southern country
and financial aid will be available.
3 A team-based paper, presented
individually to a jury. These items are
part of the training curriculum of partner schools. Students can obtain a national diploma and European certification.
