Social Pedagogy

Social pedagogy is an interdisciplinary field of education that combines elements of pedagogy, sociology, psychology, and social work. It emphasizes the holistic development of individuals and communities, with a focus on social interaction, personal growth, and social justice.

Social pedagogy places a strong emphasis on building positive relationships and creating supportive environments that empower individuals to reach their full potential.

This approach is often used in educational settings that serve vulnerable or disadvantaged populations, such as children in care, youth at risk, and individuals with special needs.

Social pedagogy seeks to promote inclusivity, emotional well-being, and social integration through educational and social activities.
