Education and Pedagogy- International Lecturers

Psychometrician therapist, Cécile worked a long time with children and their parents. Nowadays, she works in different institutions and takes care of professionals who need help with thinking about their practice. 

The workshop deals with the importance as well as the meaning of different cultural concepts to enhance our understanding of urban culture and what we think about the impact of migration on people. 

In order to facilitate this, on the one hand we will get to know some very defined, short and practical theoretical concepts and on the other hand we will use artistic work and methods to understand the deeper meaning of these concepts. The workshop intends to encourage us to use the experiences and professional pedagogues as well as in our private lives. 

Having studied and worked in contexts of socio-cultural animation and understanding of groups of adolescents, Delphine Bodin was able to experiment and bring to life various socio-sporting projects for adolescents and adults in great difficulty. Subsequently, she decided to focus on early childhood and became an educator of young children in initial training. She has worked in child protection and street prevention, with people affected by precariousness and immigration. Today she is a trainer and a volunteer in a social pedagogy association, transmitting her different experiences and values. 

Her workshop deals with social pedagogy and an experience of intervention in the street, at the foot of buildings, in slums and in social hotels. The idea is to transmit through the media of photography, the view of the other living in situations of precariousness and immigration and the effects of this view.

Marian: "As researcher and educator in the professional masters at the Marnix Academy (Utrecht), I consider it my mission to let teachers develop themselves the inquisitive stance needed to provide good language education for all pupils. I am a linguist and as such, I see the great importance of language for the development of children in general and of newcomers in particular. I co-authored the Dutch guide for primary education about newcomers in primary schools. In 2017, we conducted an international case study on professionalization of teachers for newcomers education, for which Flanders was one of our cases, and the board of Erasmushogeschool our respondents.'

Ada: "Since the mid 90s, I'm involved in education for newcomers in primary schools. Nowadays, I'm an educator in post-initial trajectories at the Marnix Academy (Utrecht) on multilingualism, second language acquisition, and newcomers. In 2015, as a response to the large influx of newcomers, I developed a post-initial trajectory for experts in educating newcomers. I am a member of the 'Lectorinitiatief Professionalisering Taalonderwijs Nieuwkomers' (initiative of lecturers of professionalization in language education for newcomers). I co-authored the guide for primary education about newcomers in primary schools. In 2017, we conducted an international case study on professionalization of teachers for newcomers education, for which Flanders was one of our cases, and the board of Erasmushogeschool our respondents."

We start out from the ideas of Biesta on the three main tasks for good educators, namely qualification, socialization, and personal development. In this workshop, we take these tasks as perspectives to explore the far-reaching consequences for educating newcomers in general, and for language education to these pupils in particular. We will work on knowledge, attitude and skills for educating newcomers by experiencing what the (special) needs of these pupils demand from the teacher.
