Social Pedagogy and Working with Children and Young People: Where Care and Education Meet

Social pedagogy is an innovative discipline that supports children’s upbringing and overall development by focusing on the child as a whole person. It has been described as where education and care meet or as ‘education in its broadest sense’.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the theory, principles and practice of social pedagogy and the profession of social pedagogue. With chapters from leading international contributors, it outlines the roots of social pedagogy and its development in Europe, and its role in relation to individuals, groups, communities and societies. Also covered is how it applies in practice to working with children and young people in a variety of settings, including children in care and in need of family support, and its potential future applications.

This seminal book on an increasingly important topic will be essential reading for all academics, researchers and practitioners working with children.
