According to the Bologna higher education system, competencies should be at the core of the curricula
offered by our Schools and Universities: the Amsterdam FESET seminar will focus on the wide range
of competencies of the professionals of social education (socio-educational care workers, social
educators, social workers, social pedagogues ... according to the different countries in Europe, the
context and setting of their activities).
This will be the occasion to provide some answers to the following questions:
What is meant by competencies within social professions?
Are the curricula that we teach our students constructed on explicit professional competencies?
How teachers translate competencies to be acquired in curricula and programmes?
What balance between disciplinary approaches and competencies-founded approaches in a programme?
How do we bring into the education of our students the competencies underlying social education?
Which competencies are emphasized in different social professions according to the countries?
What about fundamental research on competencies in social work?
Which methods are available to identify competencies?
Are there some shared competencies in different settings and various practices in social education?
How can research about competencies be “tuned” to requirements of practitioners of social education
and to the development of social welfare?
Are graduates in these fields merely “competent” or responsive, pro-active skilled professionals?...
Teachers, practitioners and researchers are welcome in Amsterdam Seminar 2008 and warmly invited to
submit papers to be presented in the different workshops.
