Prerequisites
Main aim of the course is to introduce students to the forms and methods of social pedagogy in the context of its multidisciplinarity (leisure time pedagogy, environment with social disadvantage, school environment, family environment, low-threshold programs, community work, etc.). Another objective of the subject is to introduce students to their individual types of education and their types, to show the specifics of socio-pedagogical methods in different types of environment, and to analyze the factors that can threaten the optimal personality development (we also try to influence the mutual influence between the environment and the education). In the context of SP forms and the importance of the environment, we will also work on the topic of social pedagogy target groups. Part of this will be the relationship between social pedagogy and social work, the theme of paradigms, methods and approaches to social work. The output is preparation and creation of social pedagogical project - team work, submission of project documentation and preparation of project implementation.
