The program:
The four cornerstones of training
• Analysis of the specificities and commonalities of environments.
• Reflection on what it means for a social
educator to be socially committed.
• An open approach to the social work and
education professions.
• Assisted personal and professional development which includes gaining self-awareness in relationships with others, a reinterpretation of experience and ethical sensitivity.
Educ-Europe:
providing education beyond borders
BY INCLUDING AN INTERNATIONAL DIMENSION TO SOCIAL EDUCATOR TRAINING,
EDUC-EUROPE WANTS TO TRAIN PROFESSIONALS WHO:
- Are open to social and educational issues beyond their national borders.
- Are able to better apprehend intercultural issues thanks to personal experience dealing
with a foreign culture and language.
- Have become sensitive to the diversity of national environments and educational practices.
- Are aware of their shared professional identity and are able to work in inter-professional teams and in an international network.
- Wish to participate in educational opportunities for persons in difficulty with northern and southern countries
We hope that this training will help social educators understand what culture shock feels like through personal experience. By assessing the shared social and educational challenges of modern life and by discovering the diversity of educational practices which exist in various
environments, they will be better prepared to identify what is at the core of professions based on social relations and the fight against exclusion. The international dimension is part and parcel of overall personal and professional training.
PUTTING INTERCULTURAL OPENNESS AT THE HEART OF SOCIAL EDUCATOR
TRAINING MEANS:
- Joining a business built on quality relationships with others.
- Changing one’s view about people in difficulty by learning to go beyond
one’s own cultural preconceptions.
- Fighting against all forms of imprisonment be they social, cultural or mental.
- Working together to bring down the walls of exclusion.
