Congrés Pedagogia Social, Joventut i Transformacions Socials

About the event

Categories:: Education and social work

The European strategy for youth attaches importance to the design of intervention strategies and policies based on specific evidence, experience and knowledge of the situation of young people, their welfare, their quality of life and their opportunities to play an active part in society. In this conference we aim to place the spotlight on the contributions and experiences of young people as protagonists or as the main target audience. In recent years, the economic and financial system has placed young people in an extremely difficult situation. They have been one of the main victims of regressive social policies and now find themselves in a precarious, provisional and uncertain situation.

 As an academic discipline, social pedagogy has channelled its reflections and actions through many social services and programmes. Over the last few decades it has highlighted the opportunity (and, on occasions, the necessity) to extend pedagogical reflection to certain contexts hitherto not considered typical or characteristic of pedagogy. As such, social pedagogy has been incorporated in areas such as leisure, the media, the world of work, culture, health and urban development, among others.  

 Given this situation, the International Conference – 29th Inter-University Seminar on Social Pedagogy aims to consider and put forward specific proposals aimed at advancing reflections on youth, the programmes and services targeting this group and its role in social transformations. The goal is to discuss which means and resources might best enable us to offer young people optimal conditions for their empowerment. Although this idea is acquiring greater prominence in the programme documents of governments, institutions and services, young people are currently more vulnerable than ever and find themselves far removed from the spaces and processes that symbolise power in our society, two of the most evident being employment and housing. What are the implications of taking on the challenge of youth empowerment? What social transformations does it require and what ones might it trigger? What youth policies and socio-educational programmes could help us to promote it? What training and what type of professionals do we have for this purpose? 

 These and other questions related to youth, social pedagogy and social transformations will be reflected upon and analysed through various perspectives and approaches during this conference.
