In a recently received notice from the Social Pedagogy Development Network:
Nurturing Well-being
From averting adversity, to supporting recovery from trauma, and increasing happiness, well-being plays a central role in social pedagogy across the spectrum. As a holistic and relationship-centred approach, social pedagogy aims to create a learning environment that enhances physical, emotional, social, mental and spiritual well-being. This relies on our ability to develop authentic relationships with the people we’re supporting – relationships in which we engage with head, heart and hands. We require high levels of self-awareness, self-reflection and self-care to do this effectively and to ensure that our presence and support benefits the other.
Might conductors and conductive education make a similar statement? Seems so to me - especially with adults.
If you are interested, the statement is taken from a notice of two seminars, an evening seminar on 6th April and an all-day seminar on the 7th April at the West Kent College.
