SOCIAL PEDAGOGY DEVELOPMENT NETWORK‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.

In fact, it is the only thing that ever has.’ - Margaret Mead

OUR VISION OF THE SOCIAL PEDAGOGY DEVELOPMENT NETWORK – A SOCIAL PEDAGOGIC WAY OF DEVELOPING SOCIAL PEDAGOGYIn 2009, we founded the Social Pedagogy Development Network (SPDN) as a way to connect different developments around social pedagogy in the UK. We wanted to provide a platform for dialogue and learning from each other, sharing experiences and creating further momentum. Very quickly the SPDN has become a grassroots movement for people and organisations who are interested in social pedagogy and want to nurture its development locally and nationwide. The network is underpinned by social pedagogical principles about engaging in open dialogue, of valuing people and their experiences, of connecting with others in a democratic way. As facilitators, our focus lies in providing the conditions for all participants to engage with each other and with those themes or issues that they feel most passionate about, thus laying the ownership for the SPDN in their hands.From its very first meeting, the SPDN has explored what social pedagogy could mean within a UK context and how different concepts and traditions of social pedagogy could be translated, discovered and connected. In all our events we’ve aimed to ensure that the dialogue extends the boundaries of our knowledge and furthers our collective understanding of social pedagogy. No matter how often participants have been to SPDN events or how much expertise they already bring with them, we want the SPDN to be a welcoming and inclusive forum that creates learning opportunities for everybody.The SPDN is based on the idea that change happens through people, and their passion to pursue what matters to them is fundamental and therefore, worth nurturing. In the words of Margaret Mead, we aim to bring together ‘small groups of thoughtful, committed citizens’ in order to do no less than change the world, in this case by developing a better understanding of social pedagogy. You can find out more about the SPDN’s vision and read about previous SPDN events at www.thempra.org.uk/network.htm. For further information about the Social Pedagogy Development Network and to join the movement, please email us at dialogue@thempra.org.uk.

DETAILS OF THE NEXT SPDN EVENTThe next Social Pedagogy Development Network event will be hosted by Gateway and TransformAction International at the Regency Hotel, Dublin. The evening seminar and day event on November 11 and 12, 2014, will explore the role of reflection in social pedagogical practice, with the aim to immerse participants in reflective processes and inspire them to further develop reflection with children and young people, within teams and within a wider organisational context.

The Therapeutic Use of Daily Life Events is a training of TransformAction International©. The dle training was developed by Thom Garfat, PhD of Canada in conjunction with John Digney, PhD of Ireland, and Leon Fulcher, PhD of New Zealand. It is based on Dr. Garfat’s award winning research into developing effective interventions with young people and their families. As a values based training, dle is founded on the fundamental principles and beliefs which underlay a contemporary Child & Youth Care approach. While this particular training is focused on working with youth, the knowledge and skills developed through the training are useful in a wide variety of settings with people of all ages. Completing this training will, therefore, enhance your skills in all areas of your work.

The dle training will define and demonstrate the skill of using daily life events effectively and will provide the opportunity for participants to incorporate this creative approach into their own work with young people. dle is appropriate for educators, special educators, youth workers, counsellors, social workers, psychologists, child and youth care workers, and professionals in prevention, treatment, juvenile justice and community settings. It is also useful for parents, foster parents and adult or peer mentors.

The training is designed to cover two full training days. Participants who complete the training receive the book “Making Moments Meaningful In CYC Practice”, a Participant’s Manual and a Certificate of Completion.

During this training participants will:

• demonstrate an appreciation for the importance of common daily events.

• explain the concept and process of using everyday events for helping youth.

• develop skills using every day like events to facilitate positive change.

• identify how their practice might change to incorporate this approach.

This course is delivered over the two days by the developer of the training programme Thom Garfat.

The Therapeutic Application of Humour: a resilience approach with children and youth (TaH) with Dr John Digney

Effective work with ‘troubled youth’ (and indeed any client group exhibiting challenging behaviours) is based on an understanding of how to connect and remain in relationship – and at the same time use our innate and learned skills to help bring about effective and therapeutic change.

The training, delivered over one day, will allow participants to:

• gain an appreciation of the complexity of humour;

• reflect on the various accepted applications of humour from within other professions;

• remain cognisant of potential hazards associated with inappropriate use of humour;

• discuss their personal reflections and place a context around these;

• explore related ‘theory’ and practice wisdom;

• link to practical applications.

This training focuses on the healthy and positive elements associated with therapeutic approaches to therapy and caring and has its roots in ‘Child and Youth Care’ research drawing from the ‘Therapeutic use of Daily Life Events’ (dle ) programme. It encompasses the central tenets of the ‘Circle of Courage’ approach to youth development and other resilience focused methodologies.

The course is delivered through various media (slideshow, videos and group exercises / discussion) to make the learning experience more effective and enjoyable.

NOTE: As with ALL TFAi trainings, this programme not only provides useful tips and practice advice, it also encourages the participant to be reflective, creative and to maximize the use of their own personal assets, skills, knowledge and expertise.

This course is available on the Thursday as a one day course.

Pathways to Potential with Challenging Youth: Deep Brain Learning:Creating positive changes in values, thinking & behaviors.

Starr Commonwealth and the Circle of Courage Institute have partnered to publish a training that demonstrates how combining brain research, human values and practice expertise can lead to amazing successes with challenging youth.

The Sections covered include:

1. Consilience – The test for truth & the unity of knowledge.

2. Rules of Evidence – The search for ‘evidence-based treatments’.

3. The Ecology of Childhood (Powerful Environments).

4. Pain-based behaviour.

Focusing

Practising the Pause Program: through the process called Focusing

Derek McDonnell has worked for the last 23 years as a Social Care Practitioner in various settings; 14 years of which were spent working in Lucena Clinic on Orwell Road, in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services. He is currently working as Community Social Care Leader in The Social Work Department in Laois/Offaly, providing therapeutic intervention to children and young people. Derek is trained in a process called ‘Focusing’ which he has incorporated into his therapeutic intervention. He has a chapter published in Social Care Learning from Practise 2014 called “Precious Cargo” Focusing as a Practise Approach.

SynopsisFocusing was discovered in the late 1970s by Eugene Gendlin, a student and later colleague of Dr. Carl Rogers. He carried out research into the area of why some people do better in therapy than others. He studied hundreds of sessions, and noticed a common link in those that seemed to benefit from therapy. They seemed to slow down, talk less, and have an inner sense of what to say. Those that spoke incessantly during sessions did not make progress and remained blocked for years.FOCUSING is a natural process that we are all capable of experiencing and he discovered we all have a FELT SENSE, an inside bodily sense of any situation or event we experience in our lives. This sense, at first is vague, or fuzzy, and when learn to make contact and listen to it, it has its own inner wisdom and the next steps forward contained within it.Focusing facilitates adults and professional and carers to:• develop greater capacity to make contact with and listen to their body bodily sense any situation;• be aware of how their own expectations, attitudes and reactions affect their interactions with children and young people;• develop greater empathy for self and for others while maintaining healthy boundaries;• gain greater skills in defusing and dealing with challenging behaviour;• have greater clarity when making decisions.

Focusing facilitates children and young people to:• make contact with a bodily sense of specific issue or situation;• experience difficult, sad or angry feelings without being overwhelmed by them or denying them;• learn to be aware of and express feelings in appropriate and useful ways and develop emotional intelligence;• concentrate better on everyday tasks;• listen to other children and empathise with them.

“The essence of working with another person is to be present as a living being. And that is lucky, because if we had to be smart, or good, or mature, or wise, then we would probably be in trouble. But what matters is not that. What matters is to be a human being with another human being.” (Eugene Gendlin, 1990)

Outline of the Practising the Pause ProgramA Level one training workshop (offered over one and half days Thursday 10.00am - 4.30pm and Friday 10.00 – 1.00pm lunch time).

The training will teach pausing, noticing, listening, following and change to self awareness and is centred on the children whom you care for, in your daily interactions as professionals and carers, so that they feel heard.

This training will be experiential and offers participants an opportunity to gain some insights and inner understanding of this natural process. The training will incorporate a theoretical underpinning about this process that Dr Eugene Gendlin discovered.

The training will be co-facilitated with the Focusing trainer from Focusing Ireland. Some feedback received at the end of an 80 hours training program for foster parents, and professionals held in Tulsa Child and Family Agency in the midlands, is outlined here:

“I am so much richer as a person, so much clearer, half the battle is me, not the children, when you own and clear your space, you’re there for the child Even in the bad bits inside there is good”.

“It’s like I came to the course with an empty toolbox and I have some more tools in the box, the big one is listening and making time for the child”.

Another spoke about how she realised,“A person’s problems are not your problems. Life is simpler, if you actually listen, standing in your own ground. You don’t have to take it all on”.

“Something is different in my quality of one to one presence with the children now”.

He is the author of the critically acclaimed book On The Ball; How Football Can Help Your Mental Health. “This is a marvellous book, and all the better for being so short. By using his football metaphor Dr Gaffney has the knack of turning on the lights inside our heads, and making us want to use what we are reading about. By using the football metaphor Dr Gaffney appears to be targeting primarily young people, and perhaps young men, but I think it would be a pity if readers were confined to this group” Dr William Davies.
