The book examines the evolution of professional education for social workers and pedagogues in Germany, Denmark, and French-speaking Belgium from 1989 to 2004, in light of EU directives on higher education qualifications. It explores the convergence of social work and pedagogy in these countries and considers the implications for English and British stakeholders. The author, Jacob Kornbeck, draws on his extensive experience in European policy and research, providing insights into the potential for Europeanization in professional education within these fields.

Situated at the intersection between social work and education, social pedagogy is an original and dynamic academic and professional tradition. It can be found across most European countries and shows great variety, being closely connected to specific national – and sometimes even regional cultures and structures. Yet despite this diversity, social pedagogy also has many common features, cross-nationally. The aim of the book is to illustrate this diversity via a selection of case studies from Denmark, France, Germany, Poland and Sweden. Although social pedagogy is, in many countries, a profession that represents a sizeable workforce, very little has been written about it from a European perspective. Comparative literature tends to look at social work, whereby social pedagogy is obscured. But while there is a lack of comparative social pedagogy literature, interest in social pedagogy is growing. This is particularly so in the United Kingdom where no social pedagogy tradition exists but policy developments point to the emergence of a social pedagogy paradigm both in academia and in terms of careers. This book aims to help fill the gap. Case studies deal with theoretical and practical aspects of social pedagogy, professional education, fields of practice and research as well as links with other academic and professional paradigms.

It provides valuable examples and ideas to stimulate innovative teaching practice, curriculum development and improved access to services for linguistic minorities

Die Untersuchung beleuchtet die Entwicklung des neuen Politikfeldes Sport innerhalb der Europäischen Kommission von 2001 bis 2011, insbesondere nach dem Austritt aus der Welt-Anti-Doping-Agentur. Es wird analysiert, ob die Sportpolitik der EU-Mitgliedstaaten eine Zentralisierung oder eine europäische Verflechtung erfuhr. Anhand von Fallbeispielen zu Anti-Doping-Fragen und dem Konzept "Health-Enhancing Physical Activity" (HEPA) werden die unvorhergesehenen Konsequenzen und die Rolle der EU sowie der Mitgliedstaaten und Sportverbände in diesem Prozess kritisch hinterfragt.
