Sensitive topics in education and childhood(s) studies

Urszula Markowska-Manista

University of Warsaw, Poland

Contemporary  societies  are  (over)loaded  with  topics  that  are  sensitive  or  controversial (Hilário & Augusto 2020); they have become inherent to the social world. These topics include many areas related to both the past and present, and affecting the  future  lives  of  modern  generations. 

Lecture

The Voices of Children - Discussed against the backdrop of current challenges

Nektarios Stellakis and Athanasia Iliopoulou

University of Patras, Greece

Article 12 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child describes the importance that states should give to what young people say. In the world's current hotspots, however, little is being said about the situation of young people. The dynamics of flight, displacement, discrimination and hunger reach children worldwide. A journey through different continents and places where children live in situations that are given to states and the community of states to act on makes us sit up and take notice. We will start in Greece. What is the situation of young people there today?

Lecture

Mobility and agency of young people in contemporary times

Sara Amadasi

Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia, Italy

Young people living in a transnational context arrange their own cultural trajectories. Monocultural and nation-centred perspectives, such as those institutionalised in schools, prevent young people from recognising the agency they create through their own ordering of their perceptions and experiences of mobility and places.
Students will present a research project on the use of digital tools to investigate children's sense of attachment to places that populate their lives.

Workshop

Fluidities, diversities and childhoods

Prof. Dr. Claudia Maier-Höfer

EHD University of Applied Sciences, Germany

Norms concerning sex/gender and sex/gender relations are culturally shaped and make predefined and generalised sense when understood within the societal and scientific paradigm. That there are contradictions, such as that of a common understanding of sex/gender shared by all, is best seen in the fact that sex is not binary and gender is recognised as occurring in a fluid context. Fluid means finding one's own direction for one's life by resorting to various self-chosen references. What is experienced as sex/gender is the wish to be oneself and to live as one desires.  This means that a sex/gender is not expressed as an end in itself, even if it is brought to the fore at a given moment, for example because it needs to be clarified in a particular context.
The desires we carry within us, the ways of self-actualisation within a community and a society take place on a pedagogical/educational and political terrain, which brings both barriers and opportunities. Not every life is what we would call  a success story. Accepting the reality that one has to choose one's own way of life, even as a child, can cause feelings of tension among pedagogues that are accompanying young people.
With the help of biographical accounts, we will look at the fluidity of being and becoming. The aim of the workshop is that pedagogues could be able to support young people, whose realities are already very complex, in an open manner. Thus, it will be a question of avoiding categorisations, diagnoses and prognoses. It will also be a question of moving away from a truth which, until now, has been "magically" handed down to all people at once as the only truth of being on the level of "identity".

Creating spaces for people with disabilities in protestant churches

Rev Jonas Musengimana

Protestant Institute of Arts and Social Sciences, Rwanda

The context of exclusion is not a matter of the secular world only but also for the church, what can be done in order to avoid that unethical matter or how to stop it if eventually it exists in the protestant churches? The protestant churches as other churches as well, are made by different members including people with disability. How do the protestant churches take care of people with disability? What does the Bible say about people with disability? What challenges do they face within our churches? What can the protestant churches do to avoid the exclusion of people with disability? In this paper, I am going to discuss all those questions.

WORKSHOP

Fostering Societal Inclusion - From Theory to Action in just a day!

Dr. Susanne Christ

EHD University of Applied Sciences, Research Management, Germany

In this workshop, we design and plan an inclusive awareness campaign together. We want to show you how easily you can go from a good idea to a great project!

First, we would like to introduce you very briefly to some theoretical approaches to inclusion and exclusion. Then, after having decided on a specific topic that participants would like to address (e.g., living with impairments, in a marginalised group), we will help you to brainstorm and develop your ideas for an awareness campaign (e.g., a social or artistic intervention, media campaign). After that, you are equipped with the necessary project management skills to work on your campaign and pitching it to aid organisations. At the end of the workshop, you will present your campaign to the other participants and you will receive feedback from experts - this could be the start of an exciting real-life project!
