The concept of socio-educational intervention in social pedagogy, community development, and services

Social pedagogy is a holistic approach to experiential learning, focusing on interaction, joint activities, and relationships. Social pedagogy offers paradigms for informal and non-formal educators, focusing on education for sociality. Pedagogy involves learning, teaching, and development influenced by cultural values. It differs from informal education and community learning and development. Recognizing the significance of informal education, group work, and community organization and development as practices informs social pedagogy. The current social and economic instability has exposed large pockets of disadvantaged or socially excluded people. Social policies have not effectively integrated these individuals. Community education, a pedagogical intervention, aims to improve the quality of life and well-being, particularly for those in social exclusion, and promote social cohesion. This is achieved through increased participation, empowerment, co-responsibility, and social awareness.
