LEARNING ABOUT SOCIAL PEDAGOGY
In-house and in-person courses
We support teams in developing social pedagogy within their practice and culture through meaningful bespoke team learning experiences.
In-house & face-to-face
learning that goes deep
In our face-to-face courses we use experiential learning activities and reflective methods to provide teams with a holistic insight into social pedagogy and to strengthen relationships between participants. This also enables you to develop a strong sense of ownership for integrating social pedagogy into your organisational practice, culture and structures.
All our face-to-face programmes are delivered bespoke and in-house for your organisation. Get in touch to discuss dates, group size and how we can adapt the content to your context.
